AUTOBIOGRAPHY

From a young age, three passions guided me on this captivating journey: piano, watercolor, and modding video games. These seemingly disparate interests found common ground in my eventual career in Game Audio, a realm that encapsulates creativity, Technology, and storytelling.

What excited me the most about modding was building new worlds and gameplay features and having fun tweaking things to see what happens. I spent most of my childhood building and scripting a player-controlled flying moon fortress in Morrowind. This is how my passion for game development started.

In my second passion – piano, I couldn’t focus on the lesson’s material because all I wanted to do was to compose music and experiment. With time I learned that more than motivation is needed. Tremendous amounts of practice are required to achieve competence and excellence.

With my third passion – watercolor, I painted environments for later building via modding. Although it stayed as a hobby, it taught me conceptualization.

I understood that to pursue all three interests, I would have to find what mutual feelings they caused inside me that would become a guiding light. I had three rabbits, and I needed a hat. I dreamed of a career that would use all three of them. Fortunately, a solution came to my mind during a game jam where I composed game music for 9 participant teams as a volunteer. Game Audio career was a way to go.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to study in Berklee Valencia with a full scholarship from the Georgian Government where I recived the master degree in Scoring for Films and Video Games.

After graduation, I returned to my country, where working on music for commercials, games and movies taught me a lot about creative production under pressure and meeting client expectations. 

I got lucky to meet some great people along the way, for whom I am very grateful. All these things set me in the right direction and helped me practice my craft.

I was ready to return to what I deeply love: Game Audio.
