Available to hire
Hi, I’m Sydney Musinde, a film composer and music business student at Arizona State University. I’m passionate about scoring for visual media, ensemble coordination, and storytelling through music, with a strong interest in how sound supports narrative and emotion.
I’ve built hands-on experience in stage management, orchestral performance, and collaborative composition through school and community ensembles, ASU productions, and student film work. I’m actively seeking internships or assistant composer roles to deepen my industry experience and contribute to compelling visual storytelling.
