Under my artist name, Malvae, I bring a unique blend of technical skill and creative vision honed through years of experience and a passion for creating immersive audio experiences. My work has reached #17 on the Spotify Viral 50 in the USA, with over 7 million streams to date, and I’ve had the honor of contributing music to Netflix series, collaborating with award-winning filmmakers, and crafting soundscapes for acclaimed documentary soundtracks. Based in my Amsterdam studio, I offer end-to-end audio services: writing, recording, production, sound design, mixing, mastering, and live performance setups.

Here’s a glimpse of what I can offer: Sound Design: From meticulously crafted foley and field recordings to rich, synthesizer-driven textures, I create soundscapes that add depth and authenticity to both musical projects and classic film productions, tailored to elevate storytelling and enhance emotional impact wether you lean to more of an electronic sound or organic natural sound with real instruments. Mixing & Mastering: Using premium gear and proven techniques to deliver a polished, high-fidelity sound. Film & Media Composition: Soundscapes specifically crafted to enhance visuals and elevate storytelling. Live Performance Setup: Guidance on transforming studio productions into immersive live sets, complete with visuals.
