Charles Westphal
Composer | Orchestrator | Pianist
Hello!
I'm a composer, pianist, and cofounder of Sound Citizen.
​
Influenced by contemporary pop and classical orchestral music, I strive to merge the clarity of modern production with the attention to detail found in traditional western composition.

​​
So Far...
After graduating from Berklee College of Music (2021), I partnered with Pablo Delgado and Nick Austin to co-found Sound Citizen, a production company which specializes in custom music and audio branding packages (Mississippi Aquarium, Ocean Aero, Visit Mexico, Empire of Ember, Xcaret).
​​​
In 2022, I moved out to LA and went on to work with Grammy-nominated composer, Ryan Shore, assisting on titles including Star Wars Forces of Destiny, Go-Go Cory Carson, and In the Heights. Afterwards, I spent two years with Audiomachine, writing music for trailers (Civil War, Heart of the Hunter, The Fire Inside), promos (Italia's Got Talent, Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Access Hollywood), and video games (Call of Duty: Mobile).
​​
My debut album with Audiomachine will be released soon!
