About Jesse Z.

I’m Jesse Zuretti, independent soundtrack composer working on Riot Games 2XKO.The game world shares parallels with the comic book/film world, allowing me to provide a wide-array of styles for beloved characters, cinematics, gameplay, stages, themes, and more. For over 20+ years my mission has remained the same: connect with the musical empathy and reach for uncommon creativity. Whether it’s dark fantasy, fever dream horror, high intensity action, thought-provoking sci-fi, or wistful drama, I believe the music should always help you feel, remember, think, and want more of the story.As a composer without a formal degree in music, I advocate for the power of immutable passion, musical diversity, tireless networking, and above all: patience & persistence.On top of composing for entertainment, I’ve been hired by some of the top producers and bands in Metal/Rock. I’ve produced/composed synths for bands like Intervals and Aaron Marshall on their Juno Award-Winning album “memory palace”, Brand of Sacrifice for the track “Purge”, Monuments on the track “Nefarious” for GodSlap & YouTuber penguinz0 (aka MoistCr1TiKaL) with George Lever (Sleep Token, Loathe), Jens Bogren (Opeth, Devin Townsend), and many more.I also play guitar & compose orchestra/synths for Metal Blade Records band Dååth (pronounced “doth”). In January 2025, I co-conducted a Nail the Mix (URM Academy) course for my song “BORN FROM PAIN” (from my album ARGENT SHOCK) live at the Hollywood Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California alongside my co-collaborator George Lever. I’ve also curated an extensive introductory composition course for URM Academy. I’m a proud endorsing artist for Steinberg Cubase, Orchestral Tools, Adam Audio, Spitfire Audio, Fender/Presonus/EVH, Kiesel Guitars, Korg, Native Instruments, Spectrasonics, IceGiant, and many more.I’ve been obsessed with music and film since I was a kid. Exploring the unknown, researching influences of influences, learning the deepest depths of music knowledge, watching more movies than The Pirate Bay has ever illegally uploaded. It’s not enough to be passionate; you have to be able to communicate ideas into something audible and tangible, that serves a meaningful purpose. I believe I’ve found a way to make characters, emotions, settings, and themes into musical accompaniments that sonically paint a picture.
