Daniela Pinto is a Canadian film, television, and video game composer based in Toronto.

She won a Canadian Screen Music Award in 2026 for her work on the video game HUNTER’S MOON: A SOVEREIGN SYNDICATE ADVENTURE, and was previously nominated for one in 2023 for the critically-acclaimed short horror film DIASPORA (dir. Tyler Mckenzie Evans), which premiered at TIFF. She also composed the original score for the TV series POTLUCK LADIES (LifeSketch Media), which was a nominee for Best Drama Series at the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards.

Daniela took classical piano lessons growing up, and spent most of her teens creating piano arrangements of her favourite video game and anime soundtracks for fun. While studying film at Sheridan College, she happened to discover a talent and passion for composition and music production, and ended up scoring over a dozen films by the time she graduated - including a few that she wrote and directed herself. Her background in filmmaking informs her scoring process, which is grounded in supporting characters and story in a collaborative approach with all other departments.

Daniela is also an accomplished sound editor, and has worked on the sound teams of large scale productions like CRIMES OF THE FUTURE (dir. David Cronenberg), MOONHAVEN (AMC+), and SAINT-PIERRE (CBC), as well as dozens of independent films. She is a member of the Directors Guild of Canada, and an alumna of the Canadian Academy of Cinema and Television’s WOMEN IN POST talent development program. As a composer fluent in the workflows and tools of post production audio, she brings both creative vision and technical problem-solving skills to every project she works on.
