Michael Paraskevas is a Los Angeles-based composer deeply immersed in storytelling through film and visual media. An enthusiastic collaborator and nostalgic film nerd, he loves exploring a variety of styles in his music and enjoys working with ambitious artists to share engaging and impactful stories. Most recently, he scored the Disney+/Marvel series, Agatha All Along starring Kathryn Hahn, alongside Christophe Beck. The show’s musical palette is highlighted by its subversion of the traditional superhero sound, its fusion of horror with other recognizable musical styles, and its exploration of eclectic sounds and evocative textures.
His musical fingerprints can be found across a wide spectrum of genres, including projects such as Hawkeye, El Tonto Por Cristo, Unspoken, Frozen II, This World Won’t Break, and the Emmy-nominated score to WandaVision.
Texas-born and raised, Michael studied music composition at the University of Tulsa and film scoring at the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program, where he studied with Hummie Mann. Since then, he has worked closely with distinguished composer, Christophe Beck, on many of today’s biggest hits. In his spare time, Michael can usually be found watching Dodgers games, baking pie, or stuffing his face with tacos.
