Welcome to the Musical World of Ninichi
I am an award-winning freelance video game and film music composer based in London, creating original music for indie games, animation, and other media.
I also publish sheet music and enjoy crafting reflective solo pieces for piano, violin, and other instruments.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with indie game developers, filmmakers, animators, and content creators, and my work has been featured on the BBC, showcased at Ukie's Game Changers, and preserved in the British Library Sound Archive.

Each project receives music designed to enhance narrative, emotion, and engagement.
Musical styles and versatility

I work across a wide range of musical styles — cinematic orchestral, retro/chiptune, jazz, folk- and oriental-influenced, and reflective solo instrumentals. This versatility allows me to create a unique sound for every project.
I specialise in creating instrumental and evocative music and have worked on projects with indie game studios, independent game developers and solo developers through to creating music with talented filmmakers, film production studios, animators, podcasters, streamers and more.

HIGHLIGHTS I’M GRATEFUL FOR
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to have my music reach wide audiences and gain recognition along the way.
I have been featured on the BBC, inspiring the future generation of young composers in the BBC Bitesize Series: Composing Music for Video Games.
My music was also showcased at the Ukie's Game Changers:- a live game music event highlighting the very best of UK games music talent. I was named one of the top 5 emerging female composers in the UK.
I’m also incredibly proud that my work has been preserved in the British Library Sound Archive, forming part of the UK’s cultural heritage and where it will be available for many future generations to come.
Early in my musical journey, I was also recognised for composition at the Royal College of Music (Junior Department) - a moment that helped to shape my path as a composer and encouraged me to keep pursuing what I loved.
PROJECTS I’M ESPECIALLY PROUD OF
Cirque du Mors - I composed the score for this wonderful short film that went on to win seven awards at the Cinema WorldFest Awards in Ottawa, Canada.
Storyhaven — Composer for this immersive reading and roleplaying project for children, backed by University of Bristol and supported by Bath Spa University and the One to One Development Trust.
Calico — Created the music for the Kickstarter trailer which helped the campaign reach full funding. The game was successfully completed and later released on Steam, and I’m proud that my trailer music played a part in shaping its launch and initial success.
These three projects are just a glimpse of the many amazing collaborations I’ve had the honour of being part of. You can explore my full list of credits here and see the wide range of games, films, and creative projects I’ve contributed to.
What clients say
“We were looking for a freelance music composer who could help us produce some theme music for the new Storyhaven website and trailer. I felt that Ninichi’s British Thai musical background and inclination to parallel fantastical worlds really suits the Storyhaven ethos.
I think the theme music works really well. I love the track. It´s really wonderful. You can see it at Storyhaven.app and also on the Storyhaven Trailer video. Thank you so much for your great work on the music!”
“Music plays an extremely important role in Mini Hospital. We wanted the music to lift people’s moods while playing it and Ninichi truly translated what we wanted, into the form of her beautiful music. It has since given our hospital so much life!
We heard Ninichi’s work on Soundcloud and fell in love with her music, that is when we decided to get in touch with her. The experience has been great, she has been so easy to work with and is extremely skilled and talented at what she does.”
“I have really enjoyed working with you and I am truly grateful that you showed an interest in the game and wanted to help me with the music. I really like the tracks and I think they suit the game well.
The original idea was to have a track for each section of the game and a theme for the boss and a final boss battle. I also wanted an introduction song and a song for when you beat the game.
I think it is important to have video game music that you can listen to for a long time without getting tired of it and I think that can be said about these tracks. I have discovered that I actually like the tracks even more now than when I first heard them.”
“Wow — this sounds incredible. The atmosphere and timing are spot-on with the trailer. The tone builds beautifully and really captures that haunting, mysterious quality we were hoping for.
Thank you for all your work on this and for being so patient along the way. Really fantastic job — it fits the world of VAIL perfectly. Thanks again for your amazing work and patience throughout this process!”
Let’s bring your project to life!
Whether you’re working on a video game, short film, trailer, or another creative project, I’d love to collaborate and craft music that enhances your story, evokes emotion, and connects with your audience.
Not sure where to start?
If you’ve never hired a composer for your game or film before, it can be a bit daunting. You may have many questions on your mind such as: How does one work with a composer? How much will they cost? How do I know if they’re any good? What should I tell them I need?
To help you answer some of these questions, I’ve pulled together a selection of my blogs (taken from my GameDev Blog), which I hope you will find useful…
