Join Kate Finan (Co-founder of Boom Box Post) and I on instagram live Sep 22nd 10AM PT as we chat about our creative processes, work on Waffles + Mochi Restaurant and Glamorous + more.

As an artist, I truly believe in the power of storytelling to connect people, bridge gaps, and promote empathy. Scoring Glamorous has been a profound experience, fueling my passion to seek out culturally relevant content that gives a voice to underrepresented communities. As I continue my composing journey, I'm determined to pour the same deep and heartfelt essence and passion into each score. My goal as an artist is to help contribute to meaningful stories that embrace the beauty of diversity and inspire positive change worldwide.

Joy Ngiaw, composer of the Skydance Animation Studio Logo and much more, is taking the music game by storm.

"My main objective is to serve the story, support the vision and that's what's the difference between a film composer and a composer. It's like you really are there to help, were there to serve. Whenever I feel that I can support the director's vision or the purpose of it, I feel like I've done my job."

Ngiaw’s music for Glamorous can be heard in full on July 7th, when the full soundtrack of her music for the show will be released courtesy of Lakeshore Records. “Madolyn” and “Glamorous by Madolyn” are perfect primers for the soundtrack, showcasing the pop music influences and lighthearted tone that Ngiaw curated for the series.

"I’m deeply fascinated by the complexity of human emotions and the diverse range of experiences we encounter in our lifetime. As a composer, my passion lies in crafting music that captures the essence of these emotions."

Joy Ngiaw speaking on the panel "Diversity in Comics, TV, Film, Games" at Wondercon 2023.

Joy Ngiaw (Blush, Rescued by Ruby) has recently been scoring the upcoming Netflix original series Glamourous. The show is created by Jordon Nardino (Star Trek: Discovery, Quantico) and stars Miss Benny, Kim Cattrall, Zane Phillips, Jade Payton, Michael Hsu, Ayesha Harris and Graham Parkhurst.

"Her process includes a meet and greet with the filmmakers as she likes to connect with them, learn about the story and what inspired them to tell the story. In her opinion, this enriches not only her life as a music composer but also as a human being. The meeting with the filmmakers helps her find out the purpose and message of the story to create the music palette. She says, “The beauty of being a composer is that you get to work with so many people and I believe everyone has a unique story to tell. Even before writing anything, the conversation with the director is most important to me.”

"Composer Joy Ngiaw is a rising star in the world of film music. Having graduated summa cum laude from the esteemed Berklee College of Music, Joy now finds herself in high demand across several high-profile streaming services, including Netflix and Apple TV+."

Honored to have received Best Original Composition award from Music + Sound awards 2022!

Had a wonderful time speaking on the 6th Annual ‘Tunes for Toons’ SCL panel. It was an honor to share insights scoring animation films alongside so many talented composers.

While each project will present its own challenges and opportunities, are there similarities when composing for multiple mediums? Join us as we explore the similarities and differences when scoring for animation or other mediums with composers behind animated projects like Charlotte, Blush, The Boys: Diabolical, and The Loud House Movie.

It’s an absolute honor to have scored the inaugural logo of Skydance Animation. The animated sequence will accompany all of Skydance Animation’s further productions moving forward.
