Perrine Virgile is a French composer based in Los Angeles whose work bridges film, television, and orchestral music with a distinctly cinematic voice. Best known for co-composing the hit Netflix series The Umbrella Academy, she received a BMI Award in 2022 for her contributions to the show’s acclaimed score. Her music is recognized for its emotional depth, textural richness, and ability to seamlessly support complex storytelling across genres.

Virgile began her musical journey in France, where she studied classical music at the conservatory for twelve years before earning a degree in Sound Engineering in Nice. At the age of 20, she moved to the United States to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, graduating in 2014 with a dual major in Film Scoring and Music Business. She relocated to Los Angeles in 2015 to pursue a career in screen composition.

Early in her career, Virgile worked closely with Emmy-winning composer Jeff Russo, a collaboration that spanned seven years and helped shape her voice as a composer. During that time, she contributed to a range of high-profile projects, including The Act (Hulu), Counterpart (Starz), Channel Zero (Syfy), and Cursed (Netflix), as well as films such as Lizzie and the award-winning video game What Remains of Edith Finch. She also provided additional arrangements for films including Mile 22, Submission, and Three Christs.

In recent years, Virgile has expanded her portfolio with a growing body of original scoring work. Her credits include the BET drama Long Slow Exhale, additional music for the Amazon series Ballard, the Hulu project The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox (2025), the feature film Once Upon a Time in a Cinema, and more recently the hit Amazon series Scarpetta.

Alongside her work for screen, Virgile is an accomplished orchestral composer. Her concert music has been performed by ensembles such as the Hollywood Chamber Orchestra, where she conducted premieres of works including Life Was So Beautiful Then and Ten Years. She has also been featured at the Emerging Hollywood Composers Concert at the Endless Mountain Music Festival, where her piece Odyssey of the New World was performed live.

Her orchestral albums, Lypophrenia—recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios—and Days That Never Were highlight her talent for evocative, large-scale composition, further establishing her as a versatile and distinctive voice in contemporary music.
