About
Hi, I’m Topu Lyo, an award-winning composer and cellist with a passion for creating emotive and dynamic music that enhances storytelling. I’ve had the pleasure of composing music for documentaries like the Kanye West trilogy “jeen-yuhs” and commercials for big brands such as BMW and Monster Energy.
When I’m not composing, I perform as part of the duo Live Footage, touring internationally, and I also run New York Ceremony Music, a successful wedding company that has arranged and recorded over 150 songs. Music is at the heart of everything I do, and I love sharing it with others in unique and meaningful ways.
