Louisa Mariette Byron is a multi-genre violinist and composer. Louisa’s love for storytelling emerged from the quiet landscapes of her family farm in Minnesota. At the age of three, Louisa began studying the violin classically and in other fiddle Americana styles. As a little girl inspired by cinema, she would return home from the movies, eager to run outside and step into the roles of her favorite characters. Louisa’s admiration for music and film motivated her to pursue the craft as a career.

A magna cum laude graduate from Berklee College of Music, Louisa holds majors in film scoring and violin performance, complemented by minors in conducting and video game scoring. Further enhancing her skills, she earned a master's in Screen Scoring from USC Thornton School of Music.

Louisa has performed with some of her favorite artists such as Lucius, Brandi Carlile, and Kermit the Frog. She writes music for TV, film, video games, and music library companies. Recently her music can be heard on NBC’s La Brea Seasons 2 and 3. Louisa’s violin and viola playing resonate across diverse projects, from Netflix’s Beckham and Bridgerton, to Susanna Fogel's Cat Person and Audiomachine's top-selling album, Lineage. Her unique ability to record multiple layers of herself to create a full sound chamber orchestra has made her a sought-after session musician. Currently, Louisa contributes her skills as a composer assistant at Remote Control Productions, working alongside James S. Levine.
