In addition to his teaching, Murat is a composer, music producer, and classical clarinetist originally from Turkey, now based in Los Angeles. Murat’s most recent project is the Netflix series 'Dead Boy Detectives’ co-composed with Blake Neely. Growing up in Istanbul, Murat developed a very eclectic taste and sensibility towards music and film. Influenced by the electronic music scene of the 80s and 90s, he started producing music on his first synthesizer as a teenager. His love for classical music led him to study classical clarinet at Istanbul University State Conservatory, where he performed with Istanbul’s leading orchestras both nationally and internationally.

After graduation, Murat moved to France to study composition at Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régionale d’Annecy, collaborating with directors from Cinédoc Paris Films and writing music for animation projects from ArtFx Studios, École Pivaut, and Gobelins. He obtained his Master’s degree in film scoring from the University of Southern California in 2014, mentored by James Newton Howard. Murat’s additional writing credits include the football drama series 'All American' and 'All American: Homecoming’, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Batwoman.
