Katya Bessarabov is a composer and pianist whose work spans orchestral, folk, and electronic music, creating emotionally immersive soundscapes across genres.

Classically trained from the age of six, she holds a Bachelor's degree in Music with a specialization in piano performance and music theory. She furthered her compositional journey by obtaining a MFA for scoring motion pictures and contemporary media at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe. She was mentored by Dr. Andy Hill (Walt Disney Pictures), Alastair King (Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, Doctor Who, Wonder Woman), Jack Wall (Call of Duty: Black Ops, Mass Effect), amongst others, further refining her cinematic storytelling through sound.

With a background rooted in classical tradition and a passion for genre-blending, Katya brings a distinctive voice to her compositions—one that evokes deep emotional resonance. Her approach is intuitive and bold, whilst delicately maintaining an emotive depth. She often merges contrasting sonic soundscapes, ranging from orchestral, to folk, to electronic, to craft music that is both evocative, emotional and unexpected.

A self-described "pianist gone rogue," Katya has also embraced DJing, drawing inspiration from a wide spectrum of musical influences. Beyond the studio, she’s an avid lover of photography, the arts, dance, travel and outdoor adventures, all of which inform her creative process.
