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 and I received my first console which was the Game Boy Advance SP, that was when I truly realised how impactful the music was in games. I started taking piano lessons when I was 9 years old alongside singing and performing, notably with the Welsh National Opera. Eventually, I ended up studying for a BA Hons degree in Sound for Games at the dBs Institute where I realised it was possible to combine my two biggest passions: music and games!
Currently, I'm based in the USA and have worked in the industry for 6+ years. I have experience creating emotional soundscapes and memorable music that will stick even after putting the controller down! Some of my fondest memories are from playing video games so my goal is to recreate and share that feeling for others. I aim to collaborate with game developers to ensure we produce the best experience possible and give players memories they will cherish and always remember.
Some of my favourite games are Animal Crossing, The Sims 2, Ace Attorney, Persona 5, Little Nightmares, and more...
