Massimo Sammi is a Los Angeles-based composer for film and television whose music has shaped the emotional landscape of over 30 FILMS across thriller, romantic comedy, and holiday genres. His work has been featured on HALLMARK, LIFETIME, UP ENTERTAINMENT, GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY, PRIME VIDEO, and NETFLIX, as well as international broadcasters including TF1 in France, RTL in Germany, and RAI and TV8 in Italy.
His score for PLUNDER QUEST was released by MOVIESCORE MEDIA to critical acclaim and longlisted for the WORLD SOUNDTRACK AWARD Public Choice Award — recognition that places him among the most celebrated composers working in independent film today.
Born in Genoa, Italy, Massimo's musical journey began with classical guitar before expanding through rock, jazz, and orchestral composition. He studied jazz at the NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY under legendary educator CHARLIE BANACOS, led his own ensemble at the BLUE NOTE JAZZ CLUB in New York, and earned a MASTER'S DEGREE IN SCORING FOR FILM AND MULTIMEDIA AT NYU.
His arrangement of TENDERLY for guitar trio and string orchestra won the 2016 ASMAC VAN ALEXANDER AWARD for Best Instrumental Arranging. Today, Massimo brings together orchestral craft, jazz instinct, and a deep understanding of how music shapes human emotion on screen.
Plunder Quest
Pure Magic Pictures · Released on Moviescore Media
"A rousing and delightfully entertaining soundtrack… think Raiders, Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean… a dramatic, romantic and powerful score bristling with rich thematic content. […] A classic mix of symphonic styles filled with fanfares and fast-paced action pieces laced with wonderfully sweeping strings. Highly recommended."
