Veronika Wu
Veronika (Wei-Chia) Wu is a Taiwanese composer based in the U.S. whose work centers on music for film. She holds a Graduate Diploma in Film and Game Scoring from the Film Scoring Academy of Europe and a Master of Music in Composition from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University.
As a composer for the screen, Veronika has scored a wide range of projects, from intimate chamber ensembles to full orchestras, collaborating with numerous musicians to bring each production to life. She has worked closely with independent filmmakers on short films and TV advertisements, and in 2015 contributed sound design for the award-winning film Night Blindness by Taiwanese director Dong Tuan-Hao. This screen work is enriched by a broad musical background spanning recording engineering, songwriting, and live performance, including a 2016 live production at Tainan Warehouse that wove together literature and visual imagery, and she draws on electronic elements, pop and rock influences, and visual art to craft evocative, emotionally layered scores. She believes every film and filmmaker inhabits a distinct world, and her aim is to use music to give each story its own unique voice.
Beyond the screen, her opera Telosma Cordata's Dream premiered at the 2023 Puccini Chamber Opera Festival in Italy, and in 2026 she released her cello EP Under the Ocean: Mermaid, recorded in Tokyo, Japan.
