I'm a composer who specializes in melody or leitmotifs from which I then construct a song depending on the genre. My approach is simple: the motif or as some might call it, the hook, is what people retain from any piece of musical work. It is the soul, the motive, the energy - the final stretch that bonds the emotion of the viewer to that of the character in the movie. As such I take on my work as giving the utter most importance to the main melody. --- **Semi-Finalist in the Film Music Contest 2020** **Finalist in the Avante Music Contest 2014** --- **Qualifications and education** Conservatoire of Music in Paredes Music Composer Experience: 11 Years AVTA Bachelor - ESE Music Producer at Dance Planet
