Stephanie Economou
- Music Department
- Composer
Grammy-winner Stephanie Economou is a composer and violinist based in Los Angeles, CA. Her early successes have emerged from her exploration and study of widely varying musical styles, including classical, experimental, folk, and rock. Stephanie's experience in film scoring extends from drama to action to comedy, which has demanded the synthesis of an electronic and acoustic musical palette. It is her uniquely hybridized compositional voice which has proven a valuable asset across a wide spectrum of visual media.
Stephanie is the composer to the DreamWorks animated film "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" and the Netflix TV series "Jupiter's Legacy," based on the comic series by Mark Millar. She has written the music for the Lionsgate/Starz series "Step Up: High Water," the second season of "Manhunt: Deadly Games," as well as the Netflix series, "The Chair," created by Amanda Peet and starring Sandra Oh. Stephanie scored two episodes of the Disney+ documentary series "Marvel's 616," directed by Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie, and continued her collaboration with Jacobs on the LucasFilm/Disney+ documentary feature "More Than Robots." She is also the composer of the Assassin's Creed: Valhalla DLCs "The Siege of Paris" and "Dawn of Ragnarök," the latter of which earned her the historic 2023 Grammy Award in the new "Best Score for Video Games and Other Interactive Media" category making her the first person in history to win the award.
Stephanie is a long-time collaborator of Golden Globe-nominated composer, Harry Gregson-Williams, and has composed additional music on scores such as "Mulan," "The Meg," "The Equalizer 2," "Penguins," "The Martian," "The Zookeeper's Wife," and "Live By Night." She has also aided in crafting the music for Hulu's mini-series "Catch-22," as well as the ABC/Warner Bros. TV series "Whiskey Cavalier."
Originally from Long Island, New York, Stephanie received her Bachelor's degree in Composition from the New England Conservatory of Music and Master's in Composition for Visual Media from University of California Los Angeles. In 2015, she was chosen as one of six fellows for the Sundance Institute Composers Lab at Skywalker Ranch. Stephanie was also selected for the 2018 NBC/Universal Composers Initiative and is a 2021 BAFTA Breakthrough Artist. In 2022, she won the SCL David Raksin Award for Emerging Talent for her work on "Jupiter's Legacy." As a resident board member for The Alliance for Women Film Composers, Stephanie considers the empowerment of women in film an exceedingly necessary platform, and strives to make her voice, as well as other female voices in the industry, heard.
