Hi, I’m Jakub Piechota, a London-based game & film composer and pianist specialising in original scores for multimedia projects. I collaborate closely with directors to shape the musical voice, blending classical training with modern production techniques to support mood, pacing, and narrative. I’m passionate about crafting expressive soundscapes that enhance storytelling and bring scenes to life. Beyond scoring, I teach piano to students in English and Polish, and I’ve helped run events like the English Music Festival, gaining hands-on festival administration and project management experience. I enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring aspiring musicians, and exploring how music intersects with education and live performance.
