I am a true film buff, and my love for movies gave birth to my fascination with film scoring. In 2023, a film for which I made music, IN COD WE TRUST, directed by Seonghoon Eric Park and Raphael Edwards, went on to become a SONY award-winning/multi-award-winning movie. It was thrilling and gratifying for me to have my original music become a movie soundtrack lasting over 2 and 1/2 minutes during the opening and closing credits of this amazing film dedicated to telling the story of fishermen in Gloucester. You can learn more about IN COD WE TRUST on IMDb.
Indeed, this was my second time having my music turn into a soundtrack as, years back, I had the privilege of having another one of my original songs, "Dot to Dot," synced to a televised travel show, THE FAITHFUL TRAVELER, hosted by Diana von Glahn, broadcasting to millions around the world via EWTN. "Dot to Dot" can be heard on their episode dedicated to the visit of the shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia in Philadelphia.
Since IN COD WE TRUST, I have taken two Berklee film scoring classes, and it's been an incredible journey, deepening my appreciation for the craft of cinematic music-making, inspired by my love of orchestration as well as my deep appreciation for the visual arts and visual media.
I am happy to offer my film scoring services to filmmakers and TV industry professionals in need of music, including instrumental piano music and more. Contact me here.
My original song, "WANDER," adapted for film
