My name is Drew Marcum, and I’m a Music Designer and Audio Lead for games. I’ve been creating music in DAWs since I was 13, driven by a lifelong passion for storytelling through sound. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to compose and design music for games while also collaborating with artists such as The Chainsmokers, deadmau5, and Seven Lions.

My work spans both linear composition and interactive music systems, with a focus on creating emotionally resonant, adaptive soundscapes that respond to gameplay. In addition to traditional composition, I design dynamic music systems using middleware and Unreal Engine to bring game worlds to life.

My writing credits total over 50 million streams worldwide. To see how I approach interactive music design, check out the Implementation section below.
