Sandro Morales-Santoro is an award-winning Venezuelan composer based in Los Angeles. This creative multi-instrumentalist specializes in music for film and television as well as interactive and new media.

His skills as a composer are evident throughout his lush orchestral scores, which are always infused with hints of his diverse upbringing and culture. His eclectic style is the result of his journey as a musician; going from popular and folk music in Venezuela, to a classical music education, to jazz and electronic influences during his studies in the US.

He’s a recipient of the Berklee Achievement Scholarship- and his scores have been nominated for the prestigious Hollywood Music in Media Awards, the Changing Face International Film Festival, The New York/Istanbul Short Film Festival and the Care Awards. Sandro has also received the Best Score Awards at the Luminous Frames Film Festival, Queen Palm Film Festival and the Hollywood Gold Awards.
A filmmaker at heart, Sandro’s scores show a very sensitive approach, analyzing each individual scene to capture all of the nuances and complexities of the story. We thoroughly loved listening to his music, so please enjoy our conversation with this most excellent musician!
