About
Cesar Davila-Irizarry
Overview
César Dávila-Irizarry is an award-winning Puerto Rican composer based in Los Angeles, California. He is known for creating powerful sonic experiences that blur the line between music and sound design. César uses electronic and acoustic sounds to enhance storytelling for film, TV, art, and dance. The Huffington Post says his music style "speaks to us on an unconscious level." César is known best as the main composer of the theme song of Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story" (2011 - present) and the sole composer of the theme song of the Ron Howard and Brian Grazer docu-series "Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel" (2021 - present). He has also written music for the award-winning indie director Joel Benjamin, the award-winning Butoh dancer Yokko, and the worldwide architecture firm ARUP.
What attracted César to the world of film music is his passion for storytelling and artistic expression. In addition, he draws inspiration from mainstream and experimental music and the chaotic tropical soundscapes he grew up listening to in his homeland. César is the proud recipient of 9 BMI music awards.
