Composer, Conductor, Violinist, Musician
Composer
Combining the influences of classical music, film scores, progressive metal, electronic music, classic rock, and jazz, Nathan Bieber is a versatile composer who is comfortable in many styles. He composed his first melodies at age 6, and has spent his entire life developing his unique musical voice through a combination of improvisation and score study.
The orchestra, strings, synthesizers, and other cutting edge sounds are all characteristic of his music.
Outside of scoring for media, Bieber works actively as a concert composer and as an arranger. Some of his upcoming concert commissions include works for mixed trio and string ensemble which will be premiered and performed across the United States. As an arranger of pop and traditional music, his arrangements have been performed by professional orchestras in the United States and abroad - both in the concert hall and beyond.
Bieber completed his master’s degree in Scoring for Film, Television, and Video Games at the Berklee College of Music, Valencia Campus, graduating with the highest honors.
