Hello, I’m Leonardo Merk. I’m a composer, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist with strong artistic and technical sensitivity. I’m 20 years old and passionate about how music can create emotional connections, especially in audio-visual and interactive narratives. My focus is on composing soundtrack that not only accompanies a scene, but expands it. I’ve worked as a freelance jingle producer/composer and with projects like Valen Kids Show, aiming to engage audiences and elevate the storytelling through music. I hold a degree in Music Production (Phonographic Production) and am currently pursuing a postgraduate specialization in Music Neuroscience, focusing on how music and soundtracks interact with the brain.
