Introduce Yourself : Hello everyone, by Chandra Cheung

Hello everyone,

I’m Chandra, a composer and sound designer with a passion for storytelling through music. For years, I’ve been working in the video game industry, crafting orchestral scores, anime-inspired soundtracks, and immersive sound design to bring game worlds to life.

While I love creating music for games, I’ve always had a dream—to one day compose for films. There’s something magical about how music shapes emotions on screen, and I hope to take that step into the film world when the time is right.

Beyond music, I enjoy diving into different creative expressions, whether through games, anime, or cinema. I’m also always exploring new sounds, playing instruments, and studying what makes a great score truly unforgettable.

I know this community is filled with amazing talents, and I’m grateful to be here. Looking forward to learning, connecting, and sharing this creative journey with you all!

Best,

Chandra

Normann Pokorny Hey Normann, thanks for asking! I haven’t professionally scored a real film yet—most of my experience is in video game scoring. Sometimes, I also score random short films for practice. Hopefully, within this community, I’ll have the chance to work on a real film project. Are you currently working on a short film? Would love to hear about it!!!

Hey Chandra Cheung, welcome to the community! Your background in composing for games and anime-inspired soundtracks is such a fantastic foundation for storytelling through music, and I love that you’re thinking about taking that passion into the world of film. I highly encourage you to jump into the Composing Lounge here on Stage 32, there are some amazing creatives in there and it’s a great place to ask questions, share your work, and connect with fellow composers.
