Niccolò Hilgendorf is a Los Angeles–based composer for film, television, and interactive media. He brings a modern approach to scoring that favors emotion and audience connection over classic film music tropes, and believes in the importance of real instruments and a 100% human-crafted score.

His original soundtracks have accompanied feature films, documentaries, and television series across a variety of genres. In addition to his work as an independent composer, he regularly freelances for Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music, through which he has been commissioned to write custom music for high-profile shows such as The Traitors (NBC/Peacock) and the internationally acclaimed mobile game Arknights (Hypergryph). His music can also be found in the library catalogs of Extreme Music, APM Music, VideoHelper, Audio Attack, and Phantom Power, and has earned him thousands of placements across all major American broadcast networks as well as numerous international television productions.

Niccolò holds a Master of Music in Scoring for Film, Television, and Video Games from Berklee College of Music.
