Jongnic Bontemps
Born and raised in New York City I now find myself, along with my beautiful wife and two rambunctious boys, calling California home. I am excited to be studying with this talented group of teachers and fellow students that are so passionate about infusing emotional impact into media.
On my journey thus far I have been blessed to study music at Yale, Berklee College of Music, Pyramind and intern at Remote Control Productions. Along the way I had the opportunity to orchestrate music for a AAA video game title ("Iron Man 2"), have my music accepted to several music libraries and write music for numerous student films and plays, the last being a thesis film for a USC student ("Red" directed by Channing Godfrey Peoples).
After a successful career in software I am ecstatic to pursue my dream of being a composer for film, tv and games. I love working with a team to tell a story or create an experience by melding instruments, soundscapes and sound design. Being an avid gamer I enjoy creating interactive music and designing interactive sound engines that react to the players environment and actions.
I look forward to collaborating with you in making art for the world to enjoy. Until then be blessed.
