I am a composer and pianist with a Master’s degree in Jazz Piano, specializing in cinematic music for film, series, games, and multimedia storytelling. I create emotionally expressive scores that support narrative depth, atmosphere, and immersion across a wide range of visual and interactive formats. My musical language blends orchestral and acoustic instruments with electronic textures and hybrid production techniques. I draw from jazz, classical, cinematic scoring, electronic music, pop, and world music traditions to craft distinctive sound worlds tailored to each project’s cultural and dramatic context. I have composed original music for short films and theatre productions and perform internationally as a pianist and keyboardist with the award-winning pop project JOSH. My background as a live performer informs an expressive, performance-driven approach to composition as well as detailed studio-based scoring workflows. I am available for feature films, series, short films, games, trailers, and interdisciplinary media productions.
