About me
I could not see myself doing anything other than music for the rest of my life. I have been studying it since the age of 9. Besides composing for media I was part of the Gulbenkian Choir for 10 years and was always in bands, where I sang and played piano. My second passion is image, in any form - so I studied Cinema as well. Through my cinema studies I became fascinated with the music and sound associated with image and the way it can change the meaning of what we see and how it affects the audience. In order to join both of my passions I moved to London to do the Composing For Moving Images MA at City University, which proved to be of great help with forming my identity as a composer. I became passionate about the properties of sound and how everything can be turned into music.
