Her ability to evoke emotion through music can be applied to any genre, but she especially enjoys scoring for drama, fantasy, and adventure. She began her musical journey at the mere age of 4 when she started playing the piano. Aside from being a classically trained pianist, she also plays the guitar, the clarinet, the flute, and more. ADANZE attended the University of North Texas where she studied classical piano under Dr. Steven Harlos and Ran Feng as well as composition under Dr. Joseph Klein and conducting under Dr. Daniel Cook. She earned her bachelor of arts in music and a minor in special education from UNT in 2022.

ADANZE aims to create scores that are impactful and precisely match the vision of the director. She enjoys working with complex harmonies, sweeping melodies, and unique textures. The scores that have most influenced her style include Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, and How to Train Your Dragon to name a few. ADANZE loves collaborating with people who are as passionate about bringing stories to life as she is. She is excited for the opportunity to come to this wonderful institution and collaborate with you on your next project.
