Interview with Symeon Shawn
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I composed and produced the full soundtrack for the indie film release in Cinemas.I created three original tracks—writing, singing, and producing everything—each tied to the film’s story arc and characters. My role was to bring the director’s vision to life musically, translating the emotional journeys into cinematic songs that felt integral to the narrative. It was a complete storytelling-through-music experience, and one of my proudest works.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A hybrid cinematic EP for sync, a short film score, and guiding an indie artist through finishing their first on-theme single.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: No,n ot yet, but I would love to network
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. It allows flexibility, speed, and recall—essential for deadlines. But I shape it to feel as warm and human as an analog.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: To deliver cinematic, emotional music that’s editor-ready, on time, and built around your story—not my ego.I am here to serve your story. My purpose is to do the best I possibly can to bring your vision and world to life.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Creating worlds, stories, and universes while helping artists and filmmakers bring their stories to life
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can you make this sound professional and cinematic? Yes. My system ensures every song/score feels polished, sync-ready, and true to your vision. Can you make my story into a song? Yes, I can write the lyrics, produce the song and have a track based on your story, theme or idea
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That cinematic music = “overly complex” or “too expensive.” In reality, That cinematic music = “only Orchestral and trailer music" That cinematic music = “It's only for films"
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What’s the story or emotion you want the listener to feel? Do you have references for mood/energy? What’s your deadline and delivery needs (stems, cutdowns, licensing)?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Look for someone who doesn’t just produce sound but understands storytelling. Music should elevate your vision, not distract from it.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Laptop (with RAM), MIDI keyboard, headphones, my orchestral/synth libraries, and an acoustic guitar. That’s enough to build a world.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I’ve been writing songs for myself and friends for 10+ years. I used to sing in a band and did local concerts and festivals, then music production found me, and I was hooked. I started learning, studying and still am, and came to a point where I had finished 300+ tracks to sell them, while balancing life and a 9–5. Over time, I specialized in cinematic pop and sync music, collaborating with indie filmmakers and artists looking for a sound that feels bigger than “bedroom demos.”
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Dark, emotional, cinematic music where pop production meets film scoring.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I’d love to work with artists like The Weeknd or Cigarettes After Sex—because they balance emotion, mood, and atmosphere in ways that feel timeless and cinematic.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Think like an editor: always deliver alts, stems, and clean mixes. It not only makes collaborators’ lives easier, but it also makes you the person they want to call again. And always always always keep a backup of every version, every revision, every little change in different project files and folders, with notes of what was changed and why
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Cinematic pop, dark pop, synthwave, hybrid orchestral, and atmospheric electronic. Most of my work blends these worlds to serve story and emotion.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Bridging cinematic scoring with pop/indie production—making songs or scores feel premium, emotional, and sync-ready while still relatable and human.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Emotional storytelling. I make music feel, breath, come to life in the best of my knowledge and decisions, bigger than the sum of its parts—whether it’s an artist’s demo or a film scene, the end result always feels polished, powerful, and made to last.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I start with a story brief call to understand the vision → sketch a motif or mood → expand into a full cue or song → deliver structured drafts with revisions → finalize with stems, cutdowns, and sync-ready packaging.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work in a hybrid setup: Cubase with orchestral and synth libraries, analog-inspired plugins, and a streamlined template that allows me to deliver editor-ready stems, cutdowns, and metadata fast—without losing creativity.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Hans Zimmer for storytelling, Tommee Profitt for cinematic pop, and The Weeknd for emotional production that connects instantly.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I create original cinematic music for filmmakers, brands, and indie artists—transforming raw ideas (demos, briefs, voice notes) into release-ready songs or sync-ready scores with stems, alt mixes, and clean licensing.
