Mateo Messina
Mateo Messina is a Grammy winning film composer who recently returned to his native Seattle after a decade in Hollywood. Now, he writes his film scores from Seattle and taps the wealth of brilliant musicians in the area. He has composed 15 symphonies to benefit Seattle Children’s Hospital and debuted all of them at Benaroya. You can hear his music in everything from NBC’s The Office to The Weinstein Company’s recent film, Butter starring Hugh Jackman & Jennifer Garner. He volunteers in the playroom at Seattle Children’s by writing songs with kids going through treatment. He is an accomplished performer, a unique storyteller, a seasoned recording artist, an innovative composer, and a dependable man of his business. His two favorite sounds in the world are the orchestra tuning and children’s laughter. |
