about
surasshu is a composer, electronic music producer, and sound designer from the Netherlands, specializing in chiptune music with a touch of sci-fi and horror.
​
As a kid, he was fascinated by video games and their peculiar music. At age 12, a friend gave him a tracker on a floppy disk, and jump-started his interest in composing.
surasshu then became an active part of the digital fusion community, and practiced his technical skills by competing in OHCs (one-hour compos). He later went to college at Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, where he studied composition for media, and received his Master's degree in music.
​
He is most known for his work with the band aivi & surasshu, who composed music for the award-winning TV series Steven Universe. The duo's productions for Rebecca Sugar's vocal songs have garnered critical acclaim, and Steven Universe Vol. 1 charted on Billboard as #1 in independent soundtracks.
​
surasshu has enjoyed working on a variety of projects, from indie games, to movie tie-in games on Nintendo handheld consoles, to touhou albums. He prides himself in his musical versatility, and delivering high quality music on time.
​
When he's not composing, surasshu enjoys birdwatching, cooking, and board games. He currently lives in California with his partner aivi, their baby boy, and two cats.
