"Mentoring Thalia in this year’s Composer Intensive has been a rich and very satisfying experience. From the very beginning Thalia demonstrated her passion and commitment to advancing her skills. She took up every opportunity to experience as much as possible of the real world tracking sessions, practical workshops that my co-mentor Jess Wells provided, and Thalia’s drive to learn was extraordinary. As Thalia advanced her own score what personally impressed me was her persistence in developing her musical voice, her production skills and bringing something interesting & beyond the basics to her soundtrack. As I came to learn, she has a really fine and unique touch for musical underscore, and while Jess’s orchestration and the wonderful production experience that the Intensive provides do help, what was really evident and inspiring were Thalia’s unique sensitivity, her musical power, and her dedication to excellence. I recommend her highly to any screen professionals requiring a composer."

"We engaged with Thalia earlier this year to ask her about contributing music to our online production music library, Melodie. Typically we find new composers take a little while to understand our sector of the industry and to supply music that is both appropriate and technically sound. Not so with Thalia, who turned around some fabulous tracks in relatively short order, that with a little back and forth, we were able to take on and add to our global music resource. Thalia was excellent with comms, musically proficient, and open to feedback."
Andy WilsonHead A&R | Melodie Music
"Thalia is a talented composer, having recently completed the 2024 NATSIMO Screen ComposerIntensive, under the mentoriship of myself and Ken Francis. Thalia successfully scored a short animated film and recorded a string quartet, piano and an ensemble of brass instruments to add a cinematic quality to her bed of sampled sounds. She was able to execute great storytelling techniques in the music that brought this animated film to life, with engaging characterisations, comedy, action and emotional plot points."
