Hi!
I’m Ian, a 24 year old composer who loves to sculpt new worlds through music.
I was born and raised near Seattle Washington, where I started my musical journey on the piano. I played everything from the theme songs of my favorite cartoons to Liszt and Chopin. It wasn’t too long before my love of music took me to composing, which in turn took me to Carnegie Mellon University for a bachelor’s degree in Music Composition. While at CMU, I also minored in Game Design, working on many student-made games during my time there.
Currently, I attend the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where I pursue a master’s degree in Technology and Applied Composition.
