Michael Patti is one of Hollywood's most promising and versatile composers. With his classical training and piano background, his music spans the gamut of genres from comedy, drama, action, adventure and animation.

Originally from New York, Michael studied privately with Juilliard trained composer and pianist Avraham Sternklar for eight years. Michael then moved to Los Angeles to study at the University of Southern California where he was mentored by such composers as Academy Award® nominee David Raksin, Golden Globe nominee Christopher Young, and Grammy Award Winner Joe Harnell. It was here he developed the creative and technical skills necessary to succeed as a composer in today's film and television industry.

Michael's philosophy is to serve the story and the filmmakers's vision, to keep an open and collaborative attitude, and deliver with professionalism and integrity. Since having the opportunity to work under other great composers, he's been given the invaluable experience of composing for large, high-profile projects. He looks forward to the future, where he can bring this experience to your project, large or small.

Michael lives in Los Angeles with his wife Lynne (a music teacher) and daughter Emma.

"Michael has this invaluable quality as a composer that you hope to find in a seasoned actor. The ability to take direction, consider the project as a whole, make adjustments with ZERO attitude, and deliver the kind of award winning performance that makes everyone shine."
