Anthony Espina
- Composer
- Music Department
Anthony has written the music scores to over 60 films. Some of his work include the scores to: Swiped (Netflix), Emmy Winning Documentary My Kid Is Not Crazy (Amazon Prime Video), Guy Harvey Expeditions (Amazon Prime Video), Shadow Fighter (Amazon Prime & Tubi) & Documentary The Giant Pacific Octopus (Tubi). As a young teenager Anthony was diagnosed with cancer, and while battling he found himself awaken by a universal language understood to those who would accept its call - Music Creation, and it spoke to him in ways of instruction.
At the age of twelve Anthony began to speak back, and the result would be nothing less than the beginning of the developing musical mind of a composer. Self-taught for most of his young years, Anthony decided to start mastering his craft with studying under Cuban-Born Pianist Emigdia Leon and acclaimed Pianist Jho Waxman. As he grew, he became the pupil of Acclaimed Composer/Conductor Donald Waxman, and is quoted on saying "Anthony's music is pure Melancholy with very little rest." Inspired by life itself, Anthony states his music is "delicate power, strong thematic structure with presence." Anthony began to perform his music locally and caught the eyes of many, landing him performances at The Kravis Center of the Performing Arts and winning competitions like: Spotlight on Young Musicians, The Palm Beach Idols, Full Sail Universities Composer Competition, and the Indie International Composers Competition.
Always fascinated by the art of film, he knew he wanted to expand his musical voice in pursuit of a Career in Film Music. Anthony networked himself into student film projects and it was during that period when he was invited to study under acclaimed film composer Hummie Mann at Pacific Northwest in Seattle Washington.
