Kays Al-Atrakchi's musical career as a highly regarded composer spans
over a decade of extensive work on award winning films, commercials,
and television series. Kays' traditional roots coupled with an
urban-savvy attitude have given his own music unique qualities of color
and texture. His diverse musical background includes composing for
theatre and dance, studies in world music, orchestral and concert
writing, techno electronica, jazz, and new age. Kays has merged his
extensive technical knowledge of sound and music with his eclectic
training in composing, often blending musicians with electronics in
visionary and innovative ways. Born in Florence, Italy; Kays grew up in
the fulcrum of European arts and culture. As the son of an architect
and an artist, he received an early exposure to classical music in the
works of Verdi and Puccini. At seventeen Kays moved to Boston where he
enrolled in the prestigious Berklee College of Music to further his
studies. It was at Berklee that he discovered his passion for film
music which led him to focus his studies on underscoring, orchestration
and conducting. Upon graduation, Kays moved to Orlando where he soon
met and joined forces with K.C. Ladnier and his emerging company, Sound
"O" Rama. Kays' film scores include the action features Extreme Force
and Falkland Man as well as the award winning documentary Imperatriz do
Carnaval. His television work includes scores for Sci-Fi Channel¹s
Curse of the Blair Witch, Odyssey Network¹s Donna's Day and PBS' Dooley
and Pals. His work can also be heard in attractions such as Universal
Studios Escape, Universal Studios Hollywood, Silver Dollar City and
