"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+."

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.

"Through music, I’ve come to realize that my empathetic nature was my asset, and I feel so fortunate that I am able to be in this field where music, life and humanity could beautifully merge and go hand-in-hand. It exhilarates me when I get to form a connection with other people, and I find it so beautiful and soulful that we could share our unique experiences and perspective through music."

"My approach to film scoring is that the story always comes first. I think about what inspired the director to create this film, what emotions are the characters feeling, and how can the music support the story and vision."

I'm so excited that a Disney VR animated short I've scored, 'A Kite's Tale' will be premiering at this year's SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival! It was such an incredible experience to score this innovative and adorable film and I'm extremely grateful to be part of the team.

"(Ngiaw's) sweeping score and ambitious action shots tore at the audiences heart strings with no need for dialogue as, the woman in the film uses martial arts to battle intense feelings of loss and grief reflecting Huynh’s own."
