The Composer’s Life is a podcast about the day-to-day life and experiences of having a composing career.
Hosted by Nadia, a film and media composer educated at Berklee College of Music, each episode explores the realities of writing music for a living. Through solo insights and experiences to conversations with professionals in the music industry, the show offers a practical and unfiltered view of composers, along with deep dives into the craft itself — including music theory, business insights, and more.
If you're a composer — or aspiring to be one — this is a place where you can learn more about your craft and feel supported on your journey with music.

Meet Nadia
Nadia is a film and media composer based in the UK, drawn to creating music that feels immersive, emotional, and transportive. Her work spans film scores, media ranging from podcasts to ads to music for small businesses to dance and art collaborations, shaped by years of classical training, ballet, and a love for cinematic storytelling. Nadia earned her Bachelor's in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music, and her recent projects include And the Rest is Her Story (2025), Holy Rollers (2024), The Landing (2022), and I've Got a Thing for Blondes (2021).
She is also passionate about helping other composers fulfill their creative goals and pushing for an industry that’s more honest, open, and supportive — one that celebrates wins and promotes other artists rather than scarcity. Through her podcast and newsletter, The Composer’s Life and The Composer’s Studio, she shares insights, tips, and conversations designed to empower composers at every stage of their journey.
