Hi! My name is Klaryssa :) I am a composer, songwriter, producer, audio engineer, and artist.  I have been playing music for 30 years and have had my soundtracks and trailers featured on Women's Entertainment, E!, Amazon Prime Video, CBS All Access, HULU, TLC, and APM Music to name a few. In addition, I am the artist behind Visitor From The Stars, which is a science fiction synth-pop project.  I am proficient in many audio production software programs such as FL Studio, and Logic Pro. I am also well-versed in several plug-in bundles, illustration and graphic design. I am very creative, pay close attention to details, and love working with people. I live in Los Angeles, CA, with my husband and fur baby :)
