About
Kristjan Bergey is an award-winning composer for film & television, based in Toronto, Canada. His music is melody-driven, modern, and experimental, deftly combining elements of classic orchestral composition with modern electronic textures.
His recent projects include the first season of "Macy Murdoch" (CBC), as well as TV movies “Life With Luca” (Family Channel), “Twas The Night Before Christmas” (Hallmark), and “Swindler Seduction” (Lifetime), the latter of which garnered him "Best Original Score for a Television Special" at the 2023 Canadian Screen Music Awards.
Kristjan spent many years working under the mentorship of renowned Canadian screen composer, Robert Carli, where he learned to sculpt the emotional arc of a scene with sensitivity and precision at the high speed required by unrelenting TV schedules. He has composed additional music for hundreds of episodes of television, notably including “Murdoch Mysteries” (CBC) and “Wynonna Earp” (Space/SyFy) - both Canadian Screen Award winners for Best Original Music Score for a Series.
As a producer, Kristjan contributed to Francois Klark’s JUNO-nominated album “Adventure Book”. He studied saxophone performance and music production at Humber College, and was awarded the prestigious President’s Award upon graduation.
Before entering the music and film industry, Kristjan earned a degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, where he graduated with distinction and was on the Dean's List. He was working as a software engineer at Alias|Wavefront when they were awarded an Academy Award for Technical Achievement.
When he's not writing music in his studio, Kristjan enjoys spending time in the climbing gym, on the golf course, or exploring new adventures with his wife and two daughters.
