Meet Garrett Nelson



Hello, my name is Garrett Nelson. I'm 22 and recently graduated with my BA in Music Technology at Montana State University SOM. I've found my passion in scoring for film, TV, games, and anything on screen! I've devoted my time and effort during and after my undergrad to studying composition and orchestration to go alongside my training in post-production and classical training on the saxophone.
For pursuing a career that is so popular and has not enough positions, I still wish to fulfil the role I believe I was given on this planet. I wish not only to share beautiful art and make an impact on people's lives, but also to write music that is fulfilling for performers, directors, and audiences. I believe that if I can write music that could penetrate the souls of listeners and performers alike, and make them wholeheartedly understand a cinematic narrative, then I could write music that is universally understood to the point where anyone can understand EXACTLY how someone else feels. The idea of "loss" and "joy" does not have a universal definition, as we all experience and understand emotions differently. If I can bridge the gap, then the world would be infinitely more loving.
I plan on applying to my dream Graduate Screen Scoring Program at the University of Southern California, Thornton School of Music, where I can take my passion to the next chapter and continue to learn and grow as not only a composer but a storyteller.
