About
I’m RAiK (Ruud van Schaik), a music producer, songwriter, composer and certified sound designer with 15+ years of experience creating emotionally driven, cinematic and high-energy music. I develop original music from first concept through production and final delivery, with a strong focus on composition, arrangement, rhythm, texture and vocal production—so the music truly supports the story and the intended audience impact.
I’m comfortable working independently or collaborating closely with directors, editors and production teams, quickly iterating based on creative direction and deadlines. Internationally, I’ve worked with artists and projects including Eva Simons, Major Lazer, J Balvin, Moksi and Diplo, and I also bring sound design expertise to commercial creative work. When I craft a track, I aim for clear emotion, strong energy and a polished result ready for synchronization and final mix use.
