Giovanni Bariona is a media composer, orchestrator, and producer from Milan, Italy. Based in Los Angeles, Giovanni contributes to the vibrant movie scene as a composer collaborating with locals and international filmmakers, maintaining a productive collaboration with the London-based production house Look Aside Films.

Giovanni’s musical journey commenced in his formative years when he first strummed a guitar, igniting a passion that has been the guiding force of his life. This early love for music laid the groundwork for his future as a composer and orchestrator, showcasing his unwavering commitment to the art.

As he delved deeper into the nuances of music, Giovanni unearthed a profound love for composition and arranging. This love, coupled with his fascination for cinema, naturally steered him towards a career in film scoring.

After studying at Centro Professione Musica in Milan, Giovanni moved to Boston, where he obtained a double degree in Screen Scoring and Jazz Composition at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.

Besides music, Giovanni is passionate about cooking, architecture, and live music.
“Since childhood, I’ve harbored a genuine passion for movie soundtracks. I’d eagerly watch and re-watch my favorite films, drawn to the mesmerizing pieces of music that elevated them to greatness. When I listen to music, the energy truly moves me—the power to uplift or gently sway one’s spirit.

These qualities find their place to shine even more when applied to film. The way music and images work together to spark emotions parallels the amazing process of collaboration that happens between filmmakers and composers, which is, in my opinion, the most exciting side of this industry.”
