Chelsea

I began my musical training at an early age, starting piano studies at the age of 11 and composition at 15. At 21, I presented my first solo concert. During my undergraduate studies, I maintained outstanding academic performance and was awarded the Kawai Piano Scholarship. I also became the first graduate at my institution to complete degrees in Composition, Music Therapy, and Music Production simultaneously.
My original compositions have been publicly performed and screened both domestically and internationally, earning recognition at multiple international film festivals and composition competitions. At 23, I enrolled in the Master of Arts in Music Scoring and Composition program at Academy of Art University, where my graduate thesis project was showcased at the university’s Spring Show.
Following graduation, I have been actively involved in scoring and sound design for multiple independent short films in Los Angeles and Hollywood.
