Michael Patti is one of Hollywood's most promising and versatile composers. Originally from Massapequa, Long Island, NY, Michael studied with Walt Disney Legend Norman "Buddy" Baker at New York University. The idea that Michael could actually make a living by writing music for film sounded crazy at first... (especially to a rational-minded son of a Grumman Aerospace mechanical engineer). But at NYU Michael discovered he had this unique talent for film scoring, and instantly developed a passion for it. He decided to forgo his Computer Science pursuits at Hofstra University in favor of a degree in Music. So after Hofstra, Buddy, along with Michael's supportive parents, encouraged him to make the move to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California's prestigious Film Scoring Program.
Mentored by such composers as Academy Award® nominee David Raksin, Golden Globe nominee Christopher Young, and Grammy Award Winner Joe Harnell, he developed the creative and technical skills necessary to succeed as a composer in today's film and television industry.
Michael's philosophy is to serve the story and the filmmakers's vision, to keep an open and collaborative attitude, and deliver with professionalism and integrity. Since having the opportunity to work under other great composers, he's been given the invaluable experience of composing for large, high-profile projects. He looks forward to the future, where he can bring this experience to your project, large or small.
Michael lives in Los Angeles with his wife Lynne (a music teacher) and daughter Emma.
