CARLA PATULLO
Carla Patullo is a first-generation Italian-American composer based in Los Angeles. She is best known for her music that blends lush acoustics with layered vocals and experimental electronics. Carla recently scored Maxine, a soon-to-be-released Disney film; Magic Hour, an upcoming dramedy starring Miriam Shor; My Name Is Maria De Jesus, an HBO Latino film; and Porno, Fangoria’s recent SXSW hit.  As a multi-instrumentalist and singer, she fronted the Brooklyn-formed rock act White Widow, served as musical director for the legendary comedian Sandra Bernhard, and has shared the stage with Liza Minnelli, Rufus Wainwright, Grayson Hugh, and many more.
 
In 2020, Lakeshore Records released Carla’s Fangoria soundtrack, and the A. V. Club raved that Carla’s score is “one of the year’s best horror soundtracks ... a smoky and eerily playful blend of haunting vocalizations, hissing specters, and shadowy instrumentation.”
 
Carla is a Sundance Film Music and Sound Design Lab alumna, and four-time Hollywood Music in Media Award Nominee. This past year, because of Carla’s work related to animation pioneer Lotte Reiniger, two of Carla’s film scores were presented at The Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences Museum.
 
In addition to composing and performing, Carla is a prolific songwriter and has written over 100 songs with placements on film and TV shows, such as the Sundance award-winning film Spa Night, Teen Titans Go (Cartoon Network), The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Skins (UK), Sabrina the Teenage Witch, L.A. A Queer History (PBS), and many more.
 
Carla is passionate about scoring projects that are about minorities, especially stories about women, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community!
