FRENCH COMPOSER RAPHAELLE THIBAUT IS PART OF A NEW CLASS OF UP-AND-COMING COMPOSERS. SHE WAS NOMINATED AS A BREAKTHROUGH COMPOSER OF THE YEAR BY THE INTERNATIONAL FILM MUSIC CRITICS ASSOCIATION.

 

RAPHAELLE WAS ENROLLED IN PIANO LESSONS FROM AGE 4, AND THROUGHOUT HER YOUTH THE MUSIC OF COMPOSERS SUCH AS ENNIO MORRICONE, JERRY GOLDSMITH, AND FRANCOIS DE ROUBAIX INSPIRED HER TALENT. SHE GRADUATED FROM THE MUSIC CONSERVATORY OF LILLE, FRANCE IN 2002 AND EVENTUALLY LANDED A MARKETING POSITION WITH GOOGLE, WHICH SHE LEFT IN 2015 AFTER A LIFE-CHANGING EVENT AT ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS WHICH INSPIRED HER TO PURSUE HER LIFELONG PASSION FOR MUSIC AND FILM SCORING.
