At the age of 26, Panu Aaltio is already an in-demand composer and music producer having worked on projects in his native Finland, many other European countries and in the United States. He has composed music for popular feature films, video games and primetime TV series.
A classically trained cellist since the age of 6, as well as an electronic music enthusiast for just as long, his music embodies a unique and fresh mix of contemporary and tradition. Right after finishing high school, Panu went on to study music technology as well as classical composition at Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. After receiving his Bachelor's Degree, he moved to Los Angeles to study film scoring at the University of Southern California. Upon graduating from USC, Panu received the Harry Warren Scholarship for Excellence in Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television.
Panu has just finished scoring the Finnish feature film Sauna, which is premiering at the Toronto Film Festival on September 5th, and in theaters all over Finland on October 24th.
