Nicolas Schuele is a Swiss composer known for his evocative scores in film and television, with an extensive catalog of music featured on hundreds of shows on prestigious platforms such as Apple TV, Netflix, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, NBC, France Television, BBC, and more. His recent work includes an 87-minute score for "This Is What I Want To Do", a documentary by German director Stefan Nitzsche.
In his compositions, Nicolas melds modern sensibilities with a classical touch, wielding the rich, organic sound of the traditional orchestra to create memorable melodies. He specializes in crafting custom music for character-driven drama stories, enjoying multiple collaborations with director Antoine Evans and writer Jerome J. Jackson. Notable projects include "Body Shop" (starring Nina Antanina and Gio Drasconi), "A Thirst for Life" (featuring Yasiris Alvarado, Desmond Crews, and Erika Sherman), and "Entrance" (with award-winning actress Tara Beavers and Ray Bolden Jr.).
Nicolas also writes for games, composing adaptive music built around vertical layering and intensity-driven systems, with delivery in middleware like FMOD. The same instincts that serve a film scene, pacing, tension and release, translate naturally to interactive scores that react to the player.
Before deciding to pursue his lifelong dream of full-time music composition in 2019, Nicolas enjoyed a successful two-decade career as a software developer, where his achievements included building solutions used by millions worldwide. He brings this broad experience into his highly collaborative approach with filmmakers and game developers, striving relentlessly to enrich the narrative and bring the creator's vision to life.
