Stefano D’Amico is an Italian film composer and pianist based in Turin, Italy. His music combines orchestral writing with contemporary electronic textures, creating emotionally engaging and cinematic soundscapes.
Born in Turin in 1996 and raised in Apulia, Stefano began studying piano at an early age before continuing his musical education at the N. Rota Conservatoire in Monopoli under Francesco Buccarella. His artistic background spans composition, performance, and collaborative projects across a variety of musical settings.
Specializing in film music, Stefano earned a Graduate Diploma in Film and Game Scoring in 2021. In 2023, he was awarded a scholarship established by Academy Award-winning composer Jan A. P. Kaczmarek to continue his studies at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe. There, he completed a Master of Fine Arts in Music for Motion Pictures and Contemporary Media with First Class Honours in 2024, studying with internationally renowned professionals including Dr. Andy Hill and Conrad Pope.
His recent credits include the original scores for Lessons Unbound (2026), directed by Michael Monteiro; Bliss (2025), directed by Paulina Jaśkiewicz and starring Amy Hargreaves, with cinematography by two-time Emmy Award-winning cinematographer Bill Winters; and Lapis Amor (2024), directed by Sebastian Storgaard.
Drawing inspiration from composers such as Max Richter and James Newton Howard, Stefano's work focuses on emotional storytelling through music, blending intimacy, depth, and cinematic scale to support and elevate the narrative.

Stefano is a marvelous composer. His music comes straight from his heart to our ears. He feels everything intensely, and that feeling comes across. When he finds the right director, they will do beautiful things together.
Stefano composes from a place of deep emotional truth. Working with him on BLISS was an absolute joy. He is an extraordinarily sensitive and intuitive composer who understands a director’s vision on a profound level. His music stays with you long after the film ends. He is also a thoughtful collaborator and deeply committed to storytelling.
Stefano is a truly gifted artist who excels in elevating a film with his captivating music. His gift in reading a scene and knowing how to push the emotionality of it even further with his composition is truly a work of art, and I could not be happier that he chose my film to work on.
Stefano is not only very talented as an artist, but also very good when it comes to feedback, communication, professionalism and overall cooperation. I hope I get to work with him again in the future.
Working with Stefano D’Amico on Lessons Unbound was a fantastic experience. From the start, it was clear that he was deeply passionate about music and storytelling. He took the time to understand the themes and characters, creating a score that added real depth to the film. His music perfectly matched the emotion of the story, and our collaboration was smooth, creative, and always in sync. I highly recommend Stefano to anyone looking for a composer who is both talented and truly invested in the project.
