JESI NELSON Composer Jesi Nelson is a Korean born, Wisconsin raised, Los Angeles based composer for film & media. She is an alumna of the highly competitive Sundance Film Music & Sound Design Lab (2017) held at Skywalker Ranch and was the recipient of the Sundance Institute and Time Warner Foundation grant, where 11 diverse independent artists were chosen from different Sundance labs, in its continued efforts to discover and support independent artists from diverse backgrounds. She is also an alumna of the prestigious ASCAP Composers Workshop with Richard Bellis (2018). Jesi won the film & media community’s heart with her music that played over 2018’s Sundance Film Festival promo trailer that preceded every film at the festival that year. She assisted composer Michael Kramer from 2015-2017, where she wrote additional music for the Emmy nominated series Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures and Emmy nominated series Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, under his lead. She continues to write additionally for an array of projects in film and television, while continuing her own projects. As a result of the Sundance labs, she scored the award-winning feature film JINN, directed by Nijla Human, which had its premiere at the 2018 SXSW film festival to great acclaim, and won the Special Jury Award. JINN had a theatrical and nationwide release later in the 2018 year. Jesi’s recent credits include Seasons 1 & 2 of Playmobil’s animated series Novelmore, the trailer music for Netflix’s Dota: Dragon’s Blood (TV Series) as well as additional music for the series, and Lucasfilm’s VR & Series Star Wars: Biomes and Star Wars: Vehicle Flythroughs.
