D. A. Edwards (*1997) grew up in a musical family, both parents being professional musicians. First experiences with the piano at the early age of three, followed by studies on other instruments, lead to a great fascination with music. The strong interest in creating original compositions, combined with the experiencing of images and colors through music, has naturally brought forth a very special handling of musical ideas and concepts.
During teenage years, filmmaking became the primary interest, leading to an internship at a local TV studio. The opportunity to work in many different departments, resulted in great passion for the craft. Not neglecting musical development however, this was also the time in which first attempts at programming music electronically were made, which quickly evolved into the creation of digitally produced orchestral music.
Although the wish of becoming a Cinematographer in the motion picture industry grew during this time, writing music finally turned out to be the preferred way of painting pictures.
The passion for film, the experiences with many technical and artistic aspects of filmmaking, and the strong link between music and the perception of images, have formed a deep understanding of the requirements and needs a musical score must meet to effectively contribute to the story and carry emotions.
