First trained as a guitarist, Olivier Daubry quickly developed a passion for the relationship between music and images, and the capacity with which music give a strong identity and flavor to audiovisual projects. Cradled by the nostalgia for scores of films and games that marked his childhood, Olivier developed his knowledge in musical writing to picture, and began his career in 2013 at Dune Sound studios (Keywords France) after obtaining a master’s degree in audio engineering. There, he works on sound, dubbing and voice recordings of famous franchises such as Star Wars, Assassin’s Creed, or Call of Duty. In 2016, he worked on Final Fantasy XV as artistic coordinator & co-artistic director. During these years, Olivier Daubry also composed for fiction with various short films, video games or theater plays, then gradually for television, advertising, documentaries, events and radio.
In 2017, Olivier Daubry left Dune Sound studios to fully devote himself as an independent composer, and particularly developed his work in advertising through projects of various genras, for advertisers such as Hermes, Kinder, Ubisoft, AXA, Lierac or Canal+, with whom he won a bronze Lion award at the Cannes Lions 2019 for “Le remède anti-coup de vieux” in the film category. Olivier did not neglect his work in fiction, however, and won the Canal+ prize at the Nikon Film Festival 2020 with the short film “Pussy Boo” directed by Rémi Parisse, as well as the 1st France prize at the Nespresso Talents 2020 with the short film “Igloo”, directed by Florent Devier. In 2021, he wins the “Best Music” prize in the “lol” category at the Creamusic Festival for “Pussy Boo”. In 2023, he receives the 2nd place in “Best score for Advertising & Promotion” at the international film music festival Jerry Goldsmith Awards (XV) with his music for “Cupra x Les Etoiles du Sport”, and is promoted “professional member” of SACEM.
Flourished by the versatility required for composing music to picture, Olivier finds his style in a work of sound textures and identity specific to each project, mixing technology and multi-instrumentalism, while strengthening the narration and the emotions through a melodic and thematic work, whose orchestration and implementation are based on storytelling. Olivier also studies classical harmony and counterpoint, taught by Jules Matton, in order to continually develop his mastery of musical writing and orchestration.
