Hi, I’m Ross Fortune, an Irish composer for video games, film and TV. I’m best known for my work on the award winning Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack, but more recently I’ve been having a ball creating music for F1® Manager 2022 with Frontier Developments (Planet Coaster, Jurassic World Evolution, Planet Zoo).
I get fierce joy from working with interactive audio, sound design, and audio implementation (Wwise), but I’m also lucky to have worked on one GRAMMY nominated album, two Gold certified albums, and 5 UK Top Ten singles as a recording and mixing engineer.
I graduated from the University College Dublin School of Music with an Honours degree in Musicology, then went on to achieve a Distinction in Music Production for Video Games at Griffith College Dublin. I began my career as a composer in Ireland with clients including Renault and RTÉ (Ireland’s national TV & radio broadcaster), before moving into video games music and sound design on projects with Dennaton Games, Frontier Developments, and more.
Now based in the UK, I continue to compose and mix from my studio in West London.
If you’re into the nerd stuff, this series on my artist YouTube channel covers the production of my Hotline Miami Theme, as well as the music theory behind the composition.
