Trinity Velez-Justo

 

Cristina “Trinity” Vélez-Justo (they/she) is a public speaker and educator, and an award-winning composer for film and media through her business ReelScoring, LLC. She relocated to the East Coast from Los Angeles in 2018 after finishing the Television Academy Foundation Internship in Music and working as an assistant to accomplished film and television composers.

Through film festivals and academic institutions, Trinity educates media-makers on the psychology and significance of music in media and how to successfully work with a composer. Trinity also speaks internationally about networking in a disconnected world, and diversity and inclusion in the industry and creative classroom.

Currently, Trinity is pursuing her Ph.D. in Music Theory at The Ohio State University, incorporating media studies, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies into her research. Her research focuses on how music influences our perceptions of marginalized (specifically Black and Brown) groups by its use in visual media. She plans to implement her research into developing more diverse and inclusive approaches in media music pedagogy, and to help both privileged and marginalized students create a more equitable future in the entertainment and music industries.
