We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Andrea Bellucci. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Andrea below.
Andrea, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
It has been a gradual and multifaceted journey for me: from the early days of studying classical piano to diving deep into the world of music composition for visual media, I have always been driven by passion, and that’s probably your best friend, when you work in a highly competitive industry.
Gaining recognition and working on projects with major companies like Riot Games, Skydance, and Amazon has certainly boosted my confidence, but the crucial aspect of building my self-esteem has been embracing both successes and failures along the way.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
As a music composer for films and games, I have the versatility to create music across various genres and styles, tailored to specific requests. Each composer brings their unique voice and inclination to different types of music. Personally, I find great satisfaction in working on dark narratives, such as horror and thriller movies and games. My sweet spot lies somewhere between electronic and orchestral music. Overall, I thrive when creating impactful sound signatures that evoke strong emotions and energy.
Make sure you don’t miss the upcoming VR game from Skydance, Behemoth, which I composed the music score for; it is going to be released later this fall and it has potential to be one of the best games of the year!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Being able to compose in a wide range of musical styles has been crucial. Different projects demand different genres and moods, and the ability to switch gears and deliver what the project requires is essential.
I’d also say that being proficient with the latest music production technology is indispensable, as well as working on communication skills too. Investing time in learning and mastering software and techniques really helped along the way, as I was able to get faster and more efficient.
Something that I always recommend when giving advice to younger people is to trust the ears: if something is good, it’s just good, otherwise you have to work on it or just start from scratch. I think the hardest part is to just keep it as simple as that…
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
I find it helpful to step away from my work momentarily to clear my mind: short breaks can do wonders, for example. I might take a walk, listen to some of my favorite music, or engage in a non-musical hobby to recharge.
Sometimes, watching a movie, playing a game, or listening to scores that inspire me can reignite my creative spark and provide fresh ideas, but also practicing mindfulness techniques like meditation or deep breathing exercises helps calm my mind and reduce stress.
