Stephanie Economou
A Grammy-winning composer of film, television, and video game music, Stephanie Economou is known for her command of a wide array of genres, including classical, folk, rock, electronic, and experimental music, which she often combines in her scores. She emerged from UCLA's Herb Alpert School of Music in the mid-2010s and assisted composer Harry Gregson-Williams on numerous projects for her early credits, including additional music for The Martian (2015) and Mulan (2020). She was co-credited with Gregson-Williams and Gregory Tripi on music for the series Manhunt in 2020 and was sole main composer on TV's Jupiter's Legacy and The Chair the following year. Her first solo feature score was the thriller Secrets That We Keep, also from 2021. Economou went on to compose scores for films including 2023's About My Father, starring Robert De Niro. That year, she took home a Grammy for her video game score for Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok, which blended folk and electronic music.
A native of Long Island, New York, violinist Stephanie Economou earned a bachelor's degree in composition from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston before completing a master's program in Composition for Visual Media from University of California, Los Angeles. Remaining in L.A., she collected credits for additional music and as recordist, arranger, and/or orchestrator for various Harry Gregson-Williams scores, including the video game Call of Duty: Advance Warfare (2014), shorts and documentaries such as Monkey Kingdom (2015), and scripted features including The Martian (2015), The Zookeeper's Wife (2017), and Disney's live-action Mulan (2020). In the meantime, Economou worked on series like Manhunt, The Chair, and Step Up: High Water. Her music for the Netflix superhero series Jupiter's Legacy won her the SCL (Society of Composers & Lyricists) David Raksin Award for Emerging Talent in 2021. That same year, she was named a BAFTA Breakthrough artist. 2022 found Economou working as main composer on the documentary More Than Robots and the animated short Animal Attraction. In February 2023, she won the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media for her atmospheric merger of folk and electronic music on Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok. Her score for the comedy film About My Father arrived in theaters in May 2023.
