Hi, I’m Danny Trudeau. I’m a film composer, musical director, and bassist who bridges live performance and cinematic storytelling. I’ve had the privilege of performing with artists like Dominique Fils-Aimé, Farah Siraj, and Salin, and I craft scores that reflect my global experiences and storytelling instincts. In addition to scoring, I produce and arrange for albums and stage productions. I’ve written string-quartet arrangements for artists across Canada such as Patrick Lehman, Soul Secret Agency, ESCA, and Ginette Reno. I developed my voice in Montreal’s vibrant scene after studying Performance and Jazz Composition at St-Laurent College. I’ve performed thousands of shows worldwide, and I currently lead The Sound of Eddy, an electronic/soul project signed to Ensoul Records, releasing new music in 2025 and performing across Quebec.
