Rising Stars: Meet Alessio Miraglia of Santa Monica

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alessio Miraglia.

Hi Alessio, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I actually started my musical journey when I was 16, playing guitar in Rome with my own musical projects and bands. I’ve always been fascinated by how music can tell stories and evoke emotion. At 35, I decided to take things further and study Music Production and Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music in Boston. That experience completely opened my mind; it allowed me to combine my love for music for media with new experimentation, blending orchestral composition, analog modular synthesizers, and experimental sound design.

Today, I approach every project with the same curiosity I had at 16, always searching for new ways to surprise and inspire my audience and clients. As a music supervisor as well, I’ve learned that it’s never too late to grow, evolve, and keep pushing creative boundaries as an artist.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Has it been a smooth road? Not at all. Music is hard work; there are no shortcuts. I’ve faced doubts, long nights learning new skills, and the challenge of making my character, my skills, and my sound fit every project. But that’s exactly what shaped me. Every struggle pushed me to experiment, grow, and find my own voice. In the end, the hard work is what makes the music and the journey truly worth it.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I compose music for films, television, video games, and major brands, including projects like Oppenheimer, The Hunger Games, Fortnite, The Sand Man, and collaborations with Ferrari, Pininfarina, Dolce & Gabbana, Audi, and Ford. These experiences have challenged me a lot, but this is what I do: I tell stories through music in ways that resonate with audiences globally.

Beyond that, I also focus on my own artistic projects, most notably my symphonic trilogy: Chaos, Aura, Physis.

These works allow me to explore human emotion, transformation, and cinematic storytelling in a deeply personal way,

Or Everything Was Dead. And The Wind Shifted to the North, these projects are where I really experiment, merge reality and dreams and follow my own creative curiosity.

What sets me apart is this combination: I bring professional versatility to client work while keeping an experimental, boundary-pushing artistic voice, always looking for new ways to surprise and engage listeners.

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was always a bit of a dreamer, curious, creative, and constantly chasing goals. I loved taking things apart to see how they worked, whether it was a guitar pedal, a Eurorack module, an old tape recorder, or a broken radio. Music was my way of making sense of the world. I was that kid who could spend hours playing guitar, experimenting with unusual sounds, or imagining movie scenes and trying to write music for them.

Personality-wise, I’ve always been curious, independent, and a little obsessive when it comes to learning. Even back then, I wasn’t interested in following a traditional path; I wanted to create something new, something that felt honest and alive. That same mindset still drives me today.
