An audio storyteller

I'm a digital composer and songwriter, working in this field for almost 6 years professionally. I'm deeply eager to collaborate on different projects to turn the stories into something hearable and touchy.
I have had the privilege to work with visual artists, creators, performers through this short time.
Music is my biggest passion and everything I feel, see and even touch or smell turns into sounds and melodies.
