About
Luke Colombero is a composer, music educator, and guitarist from Aliso Viejo, California. His original compositions fuse influences from Javanese gamelan, Hindustani and Carnatic music, microtonal jazz fusion, djent, modern classical, musical theatre, electronica, and progressive rock. After working in Los Angeles as an actor and model since age 4, he began studying Film Production and Media Studies at Emerson College from 2020 through 2022, providing music to multiple short films. Luke soon transferred to Berklee College of Music majoring in Film and Media Scoring and minoring in Video Game and Interactive Media Scoring; he later won the Platinum Award for Best Original Score at the 2023 Independent Shorts Awards for his work on The Princess and the Pond.
When not scoring media, Luke plays lead guitar in Boston-based math rock outfit Little Plastic Dinosaurs and world jazz trio Opal Koi, occasionally serving as a session guitarist. He has a passion for learning about and applying extended reality (XR) technologies throughout numerous fields in the music scene.
