Hi, I’m David Frederick. I bring stories to life through bold, evocative scores that elevate the vision of directors and producers worldwide. From high-stakes drama to heart-pounding action, I thrive on diving deep into a project’s soul and delivering music that doesn’t just support the picture—it brings it to life. With years of critical acclaim, multi-award wins at prestigious festivals (including Best Composer and Best Original Score) and a passion for storytelling, I move seamlessly across genres while staying laser-focused on the filmmaker's needs. I’m collaborative, efficient, flexible, and genuinely fun to work with—a composer directors call when they want world-class creativity delivered on time, on budget, and with heart. I started playing organ, piano, and synthesizer at two, performed worldwide by seven, released my first record at 16, studied at Berklee College of Music and MIT Sloan School of Management, and have scored for film, TV, games, commercials, musical theatre, radio dramas, and more.
