For Your GRAMMY® Consideration

Behind the scenes

I played in orchestras most of my youth, and so was determined to collaborate with as many live musicians as I could. Thanks to the Budapest Scoring orchestra, GRAMMY® nominee Tina Guo, and over 20 soloists - many of them friends of mine working remotely during the pandemic - my music was brought to life.

To date, my score has been nominated for several industry awards, including three Game Audio Network Guild Awards (Best Soundtrack Album, Best music for an Indie Game, and Best Score of the Year), a Hollywood Music and Media Award (Best Videogame Score of the Year), and a World Soundtrack Award.

I owe much of the music's inspiration to three people - first, the amazing writing by Nick Eliopulos, who I'd constantly turn to for character backstory. Second, to Hope Lee, who's concept art always sent melodies shooting through my head. And finally, to lead developer Aryo Jati Darmawan, who consistently pushed me to writer bold and more memorable themes.
