Sergio Paul Email & Phone Number

A Performer, Composer, and Audio Engineer with 10+ years of experience in playing and making music. I currently attend Temple University for Music Technology, with the hopes of one day scoring for Video Game and Film soundtracks. Classically trained, Violin is my primary instrument, but I now find myself playing beyond the classical genre to explore Jazz, R&B, and Hip Hop. I frequently perform at shows and private events in the South-Central Pennsylvania Area, though playing has taken me as far as Fredericksburg, Virginia. Though I have experience in Piano and Guitar as well, I aim to grow my musical talents in Violin performance by bringing awareness to the idea that popular music can be played on what may seem like an unconventional instrument for the genre.Goals of Composition have been with me since I began playing Violin at 9 years old, after inspiration was kindled by my favorite Video Game soundtracks. In High School, I had the opportunity to compose original scores for 3 different theatrical productions at local Community Theaters in York, one of which doubled as a live performance, with me playing live Violin accompanied by my pre-recorded composition in scene changes during the show. At Temple, I now continue my Composition goals through an opportunity I've received to write a 5-part String Orchestral piece to be played by Temple University's Community "Owlchestra" in the Fall of this year. Not only that, but I will soon be releasing my first EP, a collection of four original "Concept OST" tracks inspired by fictional stories I used to write in Middle and High School.As a Music Technology student at Temple University, my studies equip me with knowledge of modern music creation, so that I may have the experience to create music for the modern listener from start to finish--From conceptualization, to composing, to recording, mixing, mastering, and publishing. However, my time at Temple also serves to greatly strengthen other skills: I was a member of Temple University's Concert Choir for the Spring 2024 semester, and am also a member of Broad Street Line A Cappella Group, singing Bass in both groups. I am an Honors Student with a 3.9 GPA, and a recipient of the Boyer College Award Scholarship, as well as a name on the Boyer College of Music and Dance Dean's List for Spring 2023. Soon, I plan to study abroad at Temple University's Tokyo Japan Campus in Spring of 2025, then stop in Los Angeles for Summer 2025 to Intern through Temple's LA Study Away Program, before returning for my Senior Year back at Temple in Philadelphia.
