About
Caroline Feitosa (pronounced “fay-toes-ah”) is a Brazilian-American film composer and guitarist based in San Francisco, CA. She is an artist for Haunted Labs Pedals and Acer Guitars.
Originally from Colorado, She had an extensive career with the School of Rock for six years performing at various venues, including the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater.
After leaving the School of Rock, Caroline attended a performing arts high school and middle school in Denver where she honed her skills in classical and jazz guitar.
During her time in high school, she independently released, produced, and wrote her EP Bears In The Night. The title song on the EP went on to win a Denver Youth Music Award for “Best Original Song” in 2019.
Exploring her compositional style in high school, she decided to pursue a career in the field of media composition. This led to her enrollment at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as an undergraduate student in the Technology and Applied Composition program. She studied privately with Marco D’Ambrosio and Jonathan Bingham.
In addition to her classes, Caroline had personal film scoring masterclasses with Harry Gregson-Williams, Michael Abels, Emile Mosseri, and Catherine Joy (founder of Joy Music House).
Caroline has not slowed down in her participation in projects, including several competitive collaborations through the school (the coveted Sony Playstation project and her piece for the Meta4 Quartet). Her second year at SFCM, she worked as a producer to create a short film funded by the school called Breached.
In her final year at SFCM, she heavily participated in Arcade Live! A collaboration with Classical KDFC and KUSC, creating original arrangements and medleys of Lennie Moore’s Coruscant Cues from Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Legend of Zelda Theme by Koji Kondo.
Caroline also greatly contributed to the San Francisco International Film Festival’s Sound and Cinema Fellowship as Supervising Sound Editor , session producer/engineer, and score mixer.
She graduated from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with her Bachelors Degree in Technology and Applied Composition with the Provost Academic Achievement Award.
With her versatile skill set and driven work ethic, she continues to score films and any project that calls for music.
