Born on January 16, 1989, in the United States, Joshua Kraft is an aspiring American songwriter, level designer, writer, and cinematic music composer. While he enjoys all of these activities, his one true passion is music. Drawing inspiration from the musical works of Nobuo Uematsu, James Horner, and Blake Neely, his musical journey ignited when he discovered his love for music at the age of 20, propelling him into a lifelong pursuit of musical expression.
Within the realm of his passion, Joshua specializes in creating captivating atmospheres tailored for television, cinema, and video games. His private studio, located within the heart of the United States, serves as the canvas for his versatile compositions, spanning a multitude of genres, from immersive ambient soundscapes to grand orchestral scores. Each composition carries Joshua's distinct musical signature, infused with unwavering dedication to evoke emotion and enhance every project.
Unfortunately, this passion has brought many challenges, including personal obstacles, hardware-related issues, and a lack of guidance. Nevertheless, Joshua's devotion to music remains steadfast. He has crafted numerous distinctive pieces for personal projects and continues to expand his creative horizons with upcoming projects.
Joshua's ultimate goal is to demonstrate his intense dedication to the art of music by creating scores that capture the full spectrum of human emotions for television, cinema, and video games for you to experience.

I've been putting a lot of effort into refining my track, SPRING, and I'm excited to share that it's coming together really well. Currently. I'd say it's about 80% complete, with most of the core elements in place and just a few finishing touches left to finalize. My goal is to have it fully polished and ready for release in the first half of next month.

What media formats and genres do you create compositions for?
I take great pleasure in composing music across diverse media formats and genres. Whether it's for television, cinema, video games, short films, commercials, or any creative project, I possess the ability to create custom compositions that suit your specific needs in any desired genre.
What is the process that follows once you've been hired?
After you've contacted me, I'll promptly respond with the next steps to proceed. Typically, I'll request that you complete a project application that I will provide, ensuring I have all the essential project details.Following that, we can schedule a phone call, video call, or an in-person meeting, whichever you prefer, to have a more in-depth discussion about your project requirements. Once we reach an agreement on the project, we will formalize it in a contract signed by both parties.
How do you manage licensing and copyright matters for your compositions?
After I've provided my services, I will retain ownership, copyright, and the rights to the compositions. However, you will be granted a lifetime license to use the material for the specific project it was created for.Additionally, if necessary, you will have the opportunity to extend your initial lifetime license to include your other projects.
Are revisions included in your services?
Certainly. My priority is your satisfaction with the material I provide. Each composition will require your approval before I proceed further, and I'm open to making multiple revisions, provided they are reasonable to ensure the final compositions achieve your desired outcome.
Do you charge based on an hourly rate or by the project?
Typically, I work on a project basis; however, the compensation structure, whether it's a flat fee, based on viewership, or determined by the total amount of music minutes required, will be decided based on the specific project's requirements, which may include additional fees.
How does the payment process work?
As per the terms of the contract, a fifty percent payment is due upfront to secure services and initiate the agreed-upon terms. The remaining balance is required upon completion of the contract or project. Should the final payment not be received, legal proceedings will be initiated.
What is your policy regarding refunds or cancellations?
The policy regarding refunds or cancellations is designed to be fair to both parties. I understand that circumstances can change, so I may offer a refund on a case-by-case basis.Typically, if a cancellation is requested before work has commenced, I can offer a full refund. However, if work has already begun, a partial refund may be provided depending on the amount of work completed. I believe in open communication and will work with my clients to find the best solution for both parties in the event of a cancellation. Refunds are based entirely on our discretion.
Are you open to collaborations with other artists or musicians?
While I normally compose independently, I'm definitely open to collaborations with other composers or musicians, having had prior experience in this particular area.

You can explore all my projects on the media page, where you'll find everything I've created and that I'm currently working on.
