Moritz Schmittat

Moritz Schmittat, a dude originally from Germany but now soaking up the London vibes, has been carving out a name for himself in the film music world. His style? Well, let’s just say you can spot a Schmittat score from a mile away—cinematic, bold, and always a little unexpected. His recent credits include “A Dark Reflection,” a thriller by Tristan Loraine that really leans into suspense, “Marry Me” by Kadir Balci, which flips the rom-com script, and Chris Butler’s trippy “Scopia.” Each film is totally different, but Moritz somehow bends his music to fit, like he’s got a soundtrack sixth sense. Back in 2014, Moritz wasn’t just hanging around; he snagged the “Best Young Composer” title at the Transatlantyk Film and Music Festival in Poznan, Poland. Big deal? Yeah, absolutely. Plus, he was a finalist for “Sabam Best Young European Composer” at the World Soundtrack Awards, where his music actually got played by the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra with Dirk Brossé waving the baton. Not your average Tuesday, right? Beyond film, Moritz has been hustling in the world of TV commercials, dropping catchy tunes for big names like Audi, Volkswagen, Belvita Breakfast Cookies, Staples, Interpharma, and Campina. The guy’s got range, switching gears from moody movie moments to making breakfast cookies sound epic. All in all, Moritz Schmittat is one of those composers who’s always up to something interesting—his music lingers long after the credits roll.
