ABOUT


I discovered my love for video games when I was 3 years old, playing on a Windows 98 computer my parents owned back in Italy, where I'm from. A few years later, we moved to the UK where I received my first console, the Game Boy Advance SP. That was when I truly realised how impactful music was in games. I started taking piano lessons when I was 9 years old, alongside singing and performing. Eventually, I studied for an Honours degree in Sound for Games & Apps, where I realised it was possible to combine my biggest passions: music and games!​
 

I'm now based in the United States and have worked remotely with clients across Europe, North America, and Asia since 2020. I have experience creating emotional soundscapes and memorable music that will stick with the player even after putting the controller down! Some of my fondest memories are from playing video games, so my goal is to share that feeling with others. I aim to collaborate with game developers to ensure we produce a quality experience and give players memories they will cherish and always remember.

My favourite games are The Sims, Ace Attorney, Persona, and many more...
