DARK. POWERFUL. COLORFUL. 

Based in San Francisco, Aftab Hafeez is a highly versatile composer, music producer, sound engineer, sound designer, and actor who has programmed, recorded, mixed, and mastered all-original instrumentals since 2002. From Colombian and Pakistani roots, he traverses genres (including Rap, Pop, Electronic, Orchestral, and Latin influences) with a unique voice and message, aiming to move you and give voice to courageous stories. His solid rhythms and memorable melodies have gained recognition, enhancing award-winning films, animations, VR, and video games.

With clients including Emmy and Grammy-nominees, his electronic/rap productions have opened for major acts, with other works including his recent soundtracks for the short films “Redemption” (2020) and “I Don't Want to Sleep Alone” (2018). He also values communicating and understanding others' perspectives through Mandarin, Spanish, French, English, and Korean.

“Beyond the joy of promoting talented artists with a positive message, it’s the obliteration of both creative boundaries and the ones that divide us. Bending the rules and breaking the limits to create a new, relevant sound that moves you. To say what can’t be said with words—to have a voice for myself and give one to others. Those are the things that drive me.”

“It was such a joy and an amazing experience working with Aftab. His masterfully created score captured the intensity and vastly complex emotions of the protagonist, propelling the story further. His attention to detail surprised me, incorporating even the smallest of sounds I had not even imagined were needed. If I'm ever in need of another composer and sound designer, Aftab will be my first choice.”
​— Terri L. Smith, Director & Writer, The Scarlet Thread
