I've got 800,000+ streams across all platforms. I'm a Fiverr Pro composer and I've worked directly alongside professional film composers who've scored content for Netflix. That experience matters—I understand how professional composers approach scoring, think through musical problems, and collaborate with directors on revisions. I've built a client base of people who hire me repeatedly. Filmmakers, game studios, production companies. They come back because the music actually works. It's orchestrated properly, produced to professional standards, and serves the story instead of fighting it. What I specialize in: Orchestral scores for feature films and shorts. Game music that supports gameplay without becoming annoying background noise. Trailer music designed to grab attention. Cinematic work where the story matters and the music needs to earn its place. What drives my work: I'm drawn to projects with real stories to tell. Character-driven dramas, thrillers with genuine tension, games that explore interesting worlds, trailers that make people want to watch something. I'm not interested in generic background music. I want to score work that has something to say. Why clients stick around: I deliver music that competes with professional studio quality. Proper orchestration, clean mixing, production that doesn't sound small. I communicate clearly and answer messages quickly. I hit deadlines. Revisions get handled personally by someone who understands the project. No templates, no shortcuts, no excuses.

    'Harbouring Sorrow - 10 Minute Score

    Original orchestral score for a 10-minute film exploring grief. The challenge wasn’t making something sad - it was creating music that respects the complexity of loss. Grief isn’t one emotion, it’s layers. Numbness, anger, moments of unexpected lightness, then back to heaviness.

    We discussed what each scene needed to communicate about the character’s grief process. Where they were numb versus where emotion was breaking through. When the music should acknowledge pain directly versus when it should sit in quiet resignation. That understanding shaped every orchestral choice - sparse instrumentation in moments of emptiness, slightly warmer textures when memory or connection emerged.

    The score avoids melodrama. Instead it builds something that feels honest to how grief actually moves through a person over time. Restrained, honest, and emotionally precise.

    “Excellent work! He scored my whole 10 minute film in only 10 days! He made incredible music and completely understood the emotion behind each scene. Excellent composer!”

    Epic War Orchestration: Custom Battlefield Score

    A client approached me with a vision: a cinematic war score capturing a king striding through his army to lead the charge into battle. They provided vocal recordings and audio references for specific textures, commissioning a 3-4 minute developed track plus a 1-minute loopable piece extended to 30 minutes.

    Working from their references, I built the foundation around core requests: opening war horn, epic war drums, choral chanting, and duduk melodies. I maintained close communication with progress updates while exercising creative freedom on structure and orchestration.

    Delivered both fully mixed and mastered tracks within 6 days with unlimited revisions and commercial use rights.

    The client was overly satisfied with the final result. This was a rewarding project that challenged me to turn creative ideas into a cohesive orchestral score.

    “Wow. Almost speechless. Josh is just wow. Got everything done that exceeded my expectations and got it done extremely quickly (what felt like 2-3 days because of the constant updates). Will definitely be coming back for more in the future! :)”

    WWI Title Sequence - A Tailored Orchestral Score

    In this project, I had the opportunity to compose the score for a powerful WWI title sequence. The client wanted an emotionally gripping yet historically fitting orchestral piece to set the tone for their project. Their goal was to balance intensity and drama while maintaining a cinematic feel.

    Throughout the project, I maintained close communication, providing regular updates to ensure the music aligned perfectly with their vision. As we refined the composition, the client requested a few changes, which I tailored seamlessly. One section required a specific shift, so I composed two different versions to give them a choice, ensuring the final piece captured exactly what they needed.

    The collaboration was smooth, and the final result was a success. The client was highly satisfied with how the score elevated their title sequence, making this a rewarding project from start to finish.

    “Josh was very attentive, helpful, concise and to the point. had a blast working with him. he delivered way faster than expected of him and went above and beyond. can’t recommend him enough!”

    'Oh Bittersweet Sonata' - 20 Minute Film Score

    Original orchestral score for a 20-minute character-driven film exploring emotional depth and personal transformation.

    The key to getting this right was understanding the character’s internal landscape. Jay and I spent time discussing the protagonist’s emotional arc scene by scene—what they’re feeling beneath the surface, how their mindset shifts, what the turning points represent. Rather than scoring surface-level action, we mapped out the character’s thought process for each moment. That directional clarity meant the music could support those internal shifts instead of just reacting to what’s happening on screen.

    The result is a score that sits quietly during intimate moments, then builds genuine emotional weight when the character’s journey demands it. Every orchestral choice serves the emotional logic Jay established.

    “I had a wonderful time working with Josh on my project. I wish to work with him in future projects because his communication skills is exceptional. We collaborate the soundtrack really well, even when we had different time zones. Overall a great experience.”
