Composer
Bryan Senti is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and recording artist based in Los Angeles.
His films have premiered at festivals around the world, including Sundance and the Venice Biennale, and have been distributed by Lionsgate, HBO, and Magnolia Pictures.He co-scored the Sky TV series Save Me, with Dustin O’Halloran. The series was called “the best tv drama of the year” by The Daily Telegraph, and indeed season two won the BAFTA for Best Drama Series.
EX MYKAH, Bryan’s personal record project on Kowloon Records wasproduced alongside Grammy winner Justin Moshkevich and John Hull, and cycles through various social themes in American society today, from drug abuse to social class. The music claims a broad range of influences, most notably conscious rap and R&B icons like Kendrick Lamar & Frank Ocean but also the music of Beach House, Funkadelic, Simple Minds, Cream, and Beck, among others.
Currently, Senti is scoring writer/actress Nicole Lecky’s BBC drama Mood, an adaptation of her acclaimed play which ran at the Royal Court Theater in 2019. He’s also finishing production of a second album, MANU, a collection of instrumental pieces which speak to his Colombian/Cuban roots through the language of post-modern minimalism.
Senti, a virtuoso violinist, is a frequent artist collaborator and has shared the stage with Mark Ronson, Boy George, Andrew Wyatt, Alison Mosshart, Dustin O’Halloran, Sean Lennon, Jonathan Pierce and Samantha Urbani among others. He is a graduate of Yale and Carnegie Mellon universities and the owner and creative director of the music production company Hook and Line, Inc.
