About

Sasha Louis Leger is a Canadian composer and sound designer who elegantly blends his musical roots in folk and rock with accomplished classical training. His music explores the duality of depth and vulnerability, which seems to accurately reflect the complex nuances of our lives.  The young composer’s sonic identity is said to align seamlessly with the growing neoclassical movement.

Sasha’s fascination with music began at the age of four years old, eyes closed and unconsciously head bobbing to Sabotage by the Beastie Boys (really, there is video proof). Fast forward to more recent times, his enjoyment of music has translated to an undergraduate degree in classical music composition from the University of Moncton and a Master’s degree in Scoring for Film, Television and Video Games from the prestigious Berklee College of Music.

He furthered his knowledge in composition by attending the summer program at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe in Bulgaria, as well as the very first SOCAN Scoring Retreat at the Banff Center for Arts and Creativity. The following year, Sasha joined the Vancouver International Film Festival Annual Amp cohort, studying alongside industry giants like Michael Abels. 

Sasha’s works have been recorded by various professional ensembles and orchestras at notable studios around the world, such as AIR Studios in London, Studio 22 in Budapest, and BNR Recording Studios in Bulgaria.

A member of the Screen Composers Guild of Canada, he has had success with major television networks (Unis TV, Télé-Québec, CBC, Radio-Canada, etc.) and his music has been heard in cinemas and festivals all around. Particularly, his recent work on documentary series such as Les Chemins de Travers has been recognized by SOCAN with an Emerging Screen Composer Award.
