Alejandro R. Feo (1970 - ) Composer / Music Consultant-Supervisor / Conductor / Lecturer

Born in Caracas Venezuela, Alejandro R. Feo has been living New York City for almost 20 years. At 39 years old, he has been involved in the music and film industry for 29 active years. His experience began working with his father-a playwright, theater critic and music impresario- and his brother, a motion picture filmmaker. His father formally started instructing him at age 10, taking him to participate in international music business conferences. Privately and on his own, Mr. Feo started his formal musical studies at the age of 5. He studied composition, orchestration, piano, accompanying and conducting. He has performed with professional opera choruses and choral groups. Mr. Feo has been very successful in entertainment law as well, helping artists deal with their legal matters. His record is perfect, with most cases settled out of court and all cases won. Honest, easy-to-work-with, reliable, and professional, he is an out-of-the-box thinker. As a composer and music consultant-supervisor, he has the skills to work on logo music (for corporate and small business product identity), websites, video games, background music (for private, small business and corporate occasions), videos, commercials, industrial films, tv series/films, theater, plays, runway and trade shows, any kind of private and public event, dance, ballet, musical theater, opera, documentaries, shorts, and the big screen. From sound effects and ‘solo(s)’ to orchestral-choral atmospheres, he can create, compose and produce all kinds of music with the highest sound quality. As a music consultant/supervisor he guides his clients through the process of using music to express their ideas and has much experience collaborating with artists, recording engineers, directors, producers. Throughout the 1990's he was the music supervisor and consultant for several filmmakers from Los Angeles, CA. He composed and produced the soundtrack for a short film, also the original song for this short; a song for male voice and piano performed by himself. Mr. Feo speaks English, Spanish and Italian.
