A Refreshing Voices In Film Music

Toprak has tackled action (Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil), animation (Light of Olympia), and romance (Say It in Russian). She also composed music for the Xbox 360 game Ninety-Nine Nights, and recently scored the PBS documentary The Wind Gods about The America’s Cup (from Star Trek Into Darkness producer David Ellison). Her upcoming projects include MRB Productions In Utero and the highly anticipated Geostorm for Warner Bros. directed by Dean Devlin, starring Gerard Butler, Ed Harris and Andy Garcia.

Toprak was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, where she began her classical musical education at the age of five. After studying composition and multiple instruments at a conservatory, she moved to Chicago to study jazz in 1997, then Boston for a degree in film scoring from Berklee College of Music. She then came to Los Angeles, earned a master’s degree in composition at age 22, and has quickly become an active and reinvigorating new voice in a male-dominated Hollywood community.
