Welcome

Melody driven.
Story first.

For over 15 years, Dillon DeRosa has crafted custom cinematic, melody-driven scores that deepen emotion, sharpen storytelling, and help projects stand out with lasting impact. His work spans high-profile network television — including CBS’s FBI: Most Wanted — major releases like Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the acclaimed horror feature The Sudbury Devil, and AAA games like Back 4 Blood.

Beyond the screen, Dillon pushes creative boundaries through concert work like his 1861 Overture — a Civil War-era piece modeled after Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture — weaving historical themes of conflict, tragedy, and triumph.

“Wealth of knowledge!”
“Dillon makes it look easy… I’ve asked him for classical symphonies, jazzy showstoppers, even ’50s monster movie pastiches, and he’s delivered every time. I guarantee your audience will be whistling his melodies on their way out of the theater.”

“He’s such a genius!”
“The music makes the movie so much… The way that Dillon composes, it has fantastical elements to it, but it’s also incredibly grounded. It really makes these comedic and ridiculous moments in the film come to life.”
