Daniela Pinto is a film, television, and video game composer based in Toronto.

She composed the original score for the TV series POTLUCK LADIES (LifeSketch Media), nominated for Best Drama Series at the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards. She earned a Canadian Screen Music Award nomination for her brooding hybrid orchestral score for the short horror film DIASPORA (dir. Tyler Mckenzie Evans), which premiered at TIFF 2022. Most recently, Daniela composed the original soundtrack for the video game HUNTER’S MOON: A SOVEREIGN SYNDICATE ADVENTURE, a dark fantasy RPG by Zugalu Entertainment set in a haunted Victorian steampunk world.

Daniela took classical piano lessons growing up, and spent most of her teens creating piano arrangements of her favourite video game and anime soundtracks for fun. While studying film at Sheridan College, she discovered her talent and passion for composition and music production, and ended up scoring over a dozen films by the time she graduated - including a few that she wrote and directed herself. Her background in filmmaking informs her scoring process, which is grounded in supporting character development and story in a collaborative approach with all other departments.

Daniela is also an accomplished sound editor and a member of the Directors Guild of Canada. She has worked on the sound teams of large scale productions like CRIMES OF THE FUTURE (dir. David Cronenberg), MOONHAVEN (AMC+), and SAINT-PIERRE (CBC), as well as dozens of independent films. She is also an alumnus of the Canadian Academy of Cinema and Television’s “Women in Post” talent development program. As a composer fluent in the workflows and tools of post production audio, she brings both creative vision and technical problem-solving skills to every project she works on.
