Philip Domenico Calisto is a composer, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist with a background shaped by movement across cultures and disciplines. Born in Italy and raised in Berlin, he has lived and worked in Latin America, studied composition for film and theatre in the Netherlands, and now calls Berlin home again.
Classically trained in piano and self-taught on bass and drums, he has been making music for over 15 years. He’s curious, intuitive, and driven by a hands-on approach – always exploring, experimenting, and following his gut feeling. From singing at the Berlin Philharmonie as a teenager to opening the Christopher Street Day at the Brandenburg Gate, from working with Musicians Without Borders on the Galápagos Islands to composing music for film and advertising – his journey spans a wide range of genres and creative environments. Along the way, he also gained industry insights during a stint at Sony Music.
Philip speaks four languages fluently and feels at home in collaborative, cross-cultural environments. He is currently building Bonaparte Sonic – the new in-house audio department of Bonaparte Films – where music, storytelling and sound design come together under one roof.
