I've been in love with audiovisual art since I was 3 years old, when I got my first console, a Sega Dreamcast. Ever since, my passion for video games and film continued to grow, and so I realized that images and music could be connected as a way of expressing oneself.
My musical journey started at 12, with my electric guitar, and then I gradually learned more about composition and music production. That lead me to earning a degree in Audiovisual Design, where I developed a professional understanding of scoring language, created soundtracks for different animated short films, and grew as a creative director and video maker.
I began my professional career making rock instrumentals for other artists, which evolved into having my own solo metal project inspired by early-2000s Nu Metal. While I had that going on, I became a content creator, making guitar covers of my favorite video game soundtracks, until I decided to fully commit to creating them myself.
I believe my greatest strength is my ability to connect emotionally with the worlds I’m invited into. I approach each project with sensitivity, curiosity, and a commitment to finding the perfect musical expression for the story being told.
