Niccolò Pacella is an Italian composer who has established himself as a talented musician across visual arts and interactive media. Blending synthesis with the sounds of the orchestra, his style varies from intimate string arrangements and oneiric, dreamlike textures to powerful cinematic orchestrations.
Having contributed to a wide range of projects, Niccolò’s work includes The Simpsons, Apple TV+’s Prehistoric Planet (Primetime Emmy®-nominated) and Baz Luhrmann’s Faraway Downs. Other credits include Minecraft Live (2024, 2025), Journey to You (Hallmark), The Americas (NBC), BBC’s Julius Caesar: The Making of a Dictator and My Norwegian Holiday for Hallmark.
Niccolò graduated from Berklee College of Music, where he was awarded the prestigious Georges Delerue Memorial Scholarship—the highest honor granted by the Film Scoring Department. Before relocating to the U.S., Niccolò refined his craft at Rome’s iconic Forum Studios.
