Rick Holets
- Composer
- Music Department
Rick Holets is a film and media composer from Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he works and lives with his family. In addition to writing music, Rick also holds a degree in Mechanical
Engineering from New Mexico Tech.
Rick scribbled the score for his first original piece of piano music at age 8. It was the beginning of a consuming love for creating and performing music. His experience includes 12 years of classical piano instruction, self directed studies in improvisation and music theory, and even some time spent playing guitar and mandolin in the Desert Skies folk band.
Though he enjoys the performance aspects of music, Rick's lifelong passion has been for film scoring. In 2010, Rick composed music for his first short film. Other projects and opportunities followed as Rick devoted himself to becoming expert in all aspects of film composing. His goal is to realize ever-higher standards of artistic excellence and to compellingly communicate truth and beauty in music he creates.
When he is not in the studio working on a new project, Rick likes to spend his time biking, building things, and enjoying his family. He is open about his faith as a Christian and is constantly amazed to find that as he explores more of the world, it points his heart ever increasingly to God.
