I am a Composer for Film and Video Games, Orchestrator, and Classical Pianist from Athens, Greece, based in Los Angeles. I have written music for over fifty projects, ranging from live-action & animated Short Films, to Feature Films, Television, Video Games and Award Shows. My most recent credits include writing additional music for popular shows such as YOU (season 4, Netflix), THE FLASH (season 8, CW & Netflix), RIVERDALE (season 7, CW & Netflix), ALL AMERICAN season 5 (CW &Netflix), ALL AMERICAN: HOMECOMING season 2 (CW & Netflix), and composer credits for films such as the comedy LANE FIVE, starring Jim O’Heir (Parks and Recreation, Peacock) & Andy Buckley (The Office, Netflix & Peacock), and award winning DAEDALUS which premiered at the Chinese Theatre, one of Los Angeles’ most iconic movie theaters. I was the third winner of Krakow’s Film Music Festival (FMF) Young Talent Award, and an Academy Gold alumna, a highly selective program hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (72 participants over 7,000 applicants). I graduated from USC’s Screen Scoring Master’s Program with the Joe Harnell Award, awarded to the student with the “most outstanding performance.” Prior to USC, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music in Boston, where I pursued a dual degree in Film Scoring and Contemporary Writing and Production, and a minor in Video Game scoring. I was the 2020 recipient of the Georges Delerue Memorial Scholarship Award, the highest Film Scoring Scholarship offered to “senior student of extraordinary talent” in memory of the Oscar-Winning composer. I also received recognition as the 2020 winner of the Commencement Processional Composition Competition, giving me the honor to have composed Berklee’s 2020 graduation march, Walk of Pride. I have studied privately with with Tony & Emmy award winner and Grammy nominated Composer/Orchestrator Bill Elliott, Grammy winner Film Composer Claudio Ragazzi, Emmy nominated Film Composer Sheldon Mirowitz, and was mentored by Emmy Winning Composer Blake Neely.

Music is the best way I can really express myself and be authentic. My interest in music traces back to when I was just 6 years old, listening to and observing my mother creating her own compositions at the piano. Whenever she would stop playing, I would sit in front of the piano and start improvising and playing what I heard by ear. After I realized I had the ability to reproduce whatever I heard, I started having piano lessons. By the age of 10, I was already composing my own pieces and performing for large audiences, including a charity event where the Princess of Serbia was present.

In addition to my classical piano training, I am also a self taught drummer, guitarist, and vocalist. Except Film and Video Game music, I enjoy composing popular and instrumental pieces.

I am looking forward to collaborating with aspiring directors, film makers, and video game developers who have great things to say.
