Olajide Paris on SoundBetter

Award-winning composer with 15+ years experience creating cinematic orchestral scores for NASA and Fortune 500 companies. I specialize in blending symphonic arrangements with folk instruments. My expertise spans film, games, corporate media, and string arrangements for pop, soul, funk, and R&B.

I'm an American-born composer creating music for film, games, and interactive media, blending traditional orchestration with world music elements. My compositions bridge Western cinematic traditions with my distinctive approach to harmony and texture. Starting my career in Los Angeles, I created custom soundtracks for clients like NASA, Boeing, and General Electric. In 2012, I relocated to Tbilisi, Georgia, where I spent a decade recording and producing orchestral, choir, and folk ensembles. This experience led to producing and orchestrating soundtracks for AAA titles including Dead Rising 4. My work has earned recognition through the US State Department's Innovation in Film Scoring grant (2017) and selection for the International Composers Festival (UK, 2019). I share my expertise through articles for Sound on Sound and Film Independent, plus masterclasses at international festivals. My compositional style emphasizes melody with romantic, impressionist, and modern harmonic elements. I take a highly collaborative approach, often creating custom samples and sound design to develop unique sonic palettes for each project. I am available for original composition for film, games, and media; orchestration and arrangement; string arrangements for pop, soul, funk, and R&B; custom sample recording and sound design; and remote orchestral and ethnic instrument recording.
