A course by Antonio Teoli
Game composer Antonio Teoli’s passion for music began when his father started teaching him guitar at just 1 year old, and he also developed a fascination with video games. It was this interest that inspired his career choice. He graduated in game design at Anhembi Morumbi University in 2004 and became the first student in the course to be hired professionally, by a company called Devworks.
After graduation, he supplemented his work and studies with further degrees in digital animation, music composing, and game audio. He got a job at Hoplon Infotainment, where he worked on titles like We Love Quiz and Samsung’s Black River. He then moved to the United States to work on projects with Nintendo, Marvel, and Sega. In total, Antonio has worked on over 400 games and animations, and founded the companies Andromeda Sound, Game Audio School, and The Amazonic.
