DAVID
ORTEGA

David Luis Ortega is a 30 year veteran composer for video games and advertising. He has provided music for Nickelodeon (Rugrats), Disney (Where’s My Water?), Ubisoft (Just Dance), Dreamworks (Ikea/Lattjo), Blizzard (Hearthstone marketing), and Playstudios (Tetris). Most recently, David provided music for Frost Giant’s RTS game “StormGate.”

 

Throughout his career, David has written music for over three hundred games, providing his unique voice to bespoke projects. Rather than simply delivering music tracks to a client, David focuses on audio branding, spotting where music should play, how it should transition to areas of the game, and when to invoke thematic elements to maximize a seamless user experience.

 

Although his musical range allows for “tell me what you need and I’ll give you something great,” David’s passion projects dive in to dark, industrial soundscapes, which can be heard on his 2020 album “Velvet Animals.”

In addition to his work as a composer, David holds a doctorate degree in clinical psychology, and is a licensed and practicing clinician. Through his expertise as a psychologist, David always looks for opportunities to use effective communication strategies resulting in elegant project management
