Hello! My name is Shriya; welcome to my page!

I am an orchestrator, film composer, and flautist originally from Plymouth, Minnesota. I recently finished my studies at Berklee College of Music, where I completed a dual major in Screen Scoring and Flute Performance, and my master’s at the University of Southern California

Coming from an orchestral background, I grew up on the music of composers like Debussy and Ravel, which sparked my love for emotive and colorful textures and orchestrations. Soon after, I became a session flautist for Film and TV projects, and principal flute of Berklee’s Motion Picture Soundtrack Orchestra. Seeing firsthand the storytelling power of the orchestra in Film Music has inspired me as an orchestrator, and I love working on projects that call for unique sound palettes and exciting orchestrations.
I love composers like John Powell, Alan Silvestri, James Newton Howard, and Natalie Holt. Outside of the orchestra, I love classic rock; I’m a huge Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Pearl Jam fan!

I’ve had the pleasure of composing for several short films and various chamber groups, and I love projects that call for collaboration, strong melodies, and unique ensemble and sound palettes. In addition to scoring, I am currently working in music preparation with Thanh Tran Music Preparation and Charts of London, and orchestrating and arranging the upcoming musical, 355: The Musical, which recently premiered at 54 Below! I am also working with the Scott Dunn Orchestra, an orchestra created to make orchestral and film music accessible to the LA community.

Outside of music, you can find me volunteering with German Shepherds at Westside German Shepherd Rescue, or Golden Retrievers at Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue!

Thanks for stopping by. I’m excited to continue composing and collaborating!
