Today we’d like to introduce you to Petre Bog.
Hi Petre, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hi! I picked up the guitar at around 11 years old, which eventually led to playing live shows in my hometown of Bucharest, Romania. At 18, I moved to Boston to study at Berklee College of Music, and after graduating in 2021, I made my way to LA. Since then, I’ve been working as a film composer and music producer, pursuing my passion for storytelling through music.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
At the end of my college degree, I was hired to compose the score for the feature film The Father Who Moves Mountains. It was a huge project for me at the time—I had never worked on a major production before, and suddenly, I was responsible for all the music. I had to figure out a lot on my own and learn as I went, which was extremely challenging. But looking back, I wouldn’t call it a struggle even though it felt that way at the time. It pushed me to grow so much as a composer, and I’m really grateful for that experience.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I guess what really sets me apart is my musical upbringing. I first got into music through rock and metal, playing guitar throughout my teenage years. Later, moving to another continent and diving deep into music at Berklee gave me a whole new perspective. That mix of influences has shaped the way I approach music, allowing me to stay open-minded and push its limits in everything I create. I draw inspiration from many stories, and to me, music isn’t just found in instruments—it’s in anything that creates a sound.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
I used to go to various camps every year as a kid during summer and winter breaks, usually in remote parts of Romania. Most of them were centered around outdoor activities—we’d do things like climbing, fishing, zip-lining, and more. Looking back, it’s hard to say if I had one favorite, but I remember how much fun I had and how excited I’d get each time a new trip came around. Those camps were a big part of my childhood, and they definitely left me with some really warm, lasting memories.
