About Elena

Sought after Film and Television Composer Elena Maro is the living proof of how perseverance and the courage of making radical life choices do make dreams come true.

From 2017, after she moved to Los Angeles from Italy to transition from performing and composing for theatre to Film Scoring (working in film was her childhood dream) , and taking full advantage of her eclectic background ( from classical, to jazz, to pop, to electronic) , she has written music for several Film and Television projects, for clients both from Europe and from USA. Her music can be heard worldwide on TV and on all the major video streaming platforms and, more recently, on an Academy Award® nominated film .

Elena is a Television Academy Voting Member and a Stage 32 Thought Leader.

She firmly believes that music exists to inspire, educate and empower.

When this dreamer turned doer is not busy in her studio, she enjoys the simple things in life like cooking, gardening, hiking and spending quality time in Nature with friends and family.
