I specialize in writing & producing original songs for games, from indie to AAA: character songs, title/credits songs, diegetic music, trailer/promotional songs, and songs for specific story moments. If you're a gamedev or game composer, tell me about the game you're working on and what you're imagining, and I'll help bring it to life.
The song can be anything from a cinematic ballad to a fictional pop hit, comedic novelty track, dark folk song, electro-rock anthem, or something completely unique, depending on what your game needs. It can also be based on existing music (e.g. if you already have a game score). I also create custom sound-alikes if you have a specific song in mind, but can't license it.
I've written and produced professionally for years and have collaborated with Grammy-winning producers and songwriters. I hold a summa cum laude Master's degree from Berklee College of Music. But first and foremost, I'm obsessed with video games and game music! I have worked on games including There, Paralyze, Football Manager, and Shake It. I'm also a game composer and as such I understand what works for a given character, narrative, and player experience.
If you already know exactly what you want, I can execute the brief. If not, I can also help develop the direction with you based on your game or simply a musical reference. Either way, I handle everything from lyrics, composition, vocals (incl. finding the right singer) to production.You get a release-ready song that feels like it belongs in your game. I'm fully invested in making it a success.
Btw. You don't need to have everything figured out before contacting me. Reach out!
I'd love to hear about your idea and game!
