Biography

Arjan Dekkers ( 1966 ) took his first pianolessons at the age of seven. In 1985 he got admitted to the Rotterdam Conservatory where he started his classical piano studies. After a while it appeared that his lifelong fascination for the classical masters could not weigh up to his passion for contemporary music. He decided to change his course to composing and orchestration and specialized in filmmusic. He graduated in 1992.

After his graduation he took on different freelance assignments for composing and orchestrating, such as underscores for industrial films, orchestrating and conducting a musical, songwriting and lyrics. He also writes music for his own projects such as a musical and a one-woman show for which he is currently raising funds to get them in production. In addition to his freelance activities Arjan teaches piano, guitar and bass guitar.

Since 2002 he has dedicated his career to underscoring feature films, documentaries and computer games. He found a good musical partner in the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, which is specialized in performing and recording filmmusic, and with a long record of filmmusic and CD-recordings. For the future he hopes to explore his musical opportunities on a global scale.
