About
Hi, I’m Griffin James, a multidisciplinary composer and audio professional based in Los Angeles. I co-founded SAATU to provide music direction, bespoke composition, sound design and audio post-production for documentaries, podcasts, films and TV series, while also adding a sharp musical perspective to brand advertising. I collaborate closely with clients to deliver tailored, storytelling-driven sound.
My experience spans music production, sound design and audio engineering, and I’ve organized collaborations with major labels and publishers to secure synchronization rights across multi-platform campaigns. I thrive on cross-functional teamwork, on-set recording, and crafting immersive soundscapes that elevate narrative impact.
