Jake Colson is a Minneapolis‑based media composer, multi‑instrumentalist, and audio engineer whose work blends bold thematic writing with immersive sonic world‑building. Drawn to music from an early age, he grew up experimenting with sound; shaping ideas, textures, and emotions into something larger than the notes themselves. That instinct for exploration continues to define his creative identity.

A versatile performer on guitar, bass, saxophone, drums, and piano, Jake moves fluidly between the roles of composer, musician, and engineer. His broad instrumental background gives him a deep understanding of musical storytelling—how a single motif can evolve, how harmony can shift a narrative, how rhythm can drive a scene forward.

Jake’s years performing in both live and studio settings introduced him to a wide community of musicians, composers, and mentors who helped refine his artistic voice. Collaboration is central to his process; he thrives in environments where ideas collide, expand, and transform into something unexpected.

Jake graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Film and Media Scoring, along with minors in Music Technology and Video Game Scoring. At Berklee, he immersed himself in projects across film, games, and multimedia, sharpening his craft and developing a cinematic sensibility rooted in emotion, scale, and narrative clarity.

Jake gravitates toward sci‑fi and fantasy scoring—genres that invite expansive sound palettes, hybrid orchestration, and imaginative musical architecture. His work focuses on building worlds through sound, crafting scores that deepen immersion and amplify the emotional core of the story. Though early in his career, he approaches every project with intention, curiosity, and a commitment to creating music that resonates long after the final frame.
