My name is Kory and I'm a musician. I love to create music and sound design to help tell stories in media. I began my journey teaching myself piano starting in the 6th grade and began writing my own songs. I wanted to learn more so I took a few years of piano lessons and then went on to study classical and jazz piano and composition at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Music. I fell in love and chose to pursue a career and life in music.

​

The path through college led me on a winding road but always surrounding music. I applied to "E-town" for their renowned music therapy program, then shortly switched to music education and discovered my love for teaching. Though I found myself not wanting to teach music in the traditional classroom setting, I discovered a love for teaching lessons one-on-one. So I instead pursued my interests in performing, composing, and songwriting as a BA in music and I minored in communications with a focus in film and media. 

 

I've now ventured deeper into the world of film scoring and podcast editing/production. I've edited and produced podcasts with Law&Crime, a branch of Dan Abrams' "Abrams Media" focusing on true crime stories. I've edited audio, mixed and mastered episodes, placed and synced music from libraries to tell a dramatic story, and composed original theme songs for shows and trailer music for promotions.

 

I'm also an independent artist in the Indie Folk-Pop genre with music on all major platforms.

​

I'm a film composer for short films and other mediums such as reels, commercials, trailers, audio series, and podcasts. I have been nominated for Best Original Score and Best Sound for my collaborative, co-directed, animated short film Beanstalk in the International New York Film Festival (INYFF) 2021 for my original music and sound design.​
