In this episode of Talent Freaks, we revisit a conversation from 2019 with the incredibly talented music composer Michael Vignola (aka Vigs), whose cinematic and atmospheric scores have brought life to films, TV shows, commercials, and web series. From his early days tinkering with an electric organ in his grandparents' basement to touring with bands and mastering the art of film scoring, Michael shares his journey of following his passion for music despite the challenges and doubts he faced along the way.
We dive into his creative process, the importance of branding and visuals in his work, and how social media has played a pivotal role in connecting him with filmmakers and other creatives. Michael also opens up about the emotional depth of his music, his influences, and his dream of one day working with a full orchestra.
Whether you're a filmmaker, musician, or just someone who loves a good story about chasing dreams, this conversation is packed with inspiration, insight, and a few laughs. Plus, we’ve woven some of Michael’s beautiful music throughout the episode to give you a taste of his incredible talent.
