Biography

John Paul Canal grew up with a fascination of the night sky and the universe. He was actually on track to study astrophysics but he searched within himself to discover his true passion of composing instrumental music for visual media. John Paul still carries his scientific mindset and brought it to the realms of music and sound design. He studied for four years at Berklee College of Music earning a bachelor's degree in Film Scoring with a minor in Video Game Scoring/Sound Design. He hopes to utilize his natural curiosity to push the boundaries of sound and create music that stands out for a project. Immersive audio and experiences have always captured his attention and he would like to keep those experiences alive by contributing his compositional skills. 

Outside of the scoring realms, he is also a drummer/synth programmer in the band Mary's Room and is working on solo instrumental albums as well
