Teesa D'Agostino (Theresa D'Agostino), a viral Italian American composer, began her musical journey at age two, playfully banging the piano.
In 2020, she released her debut album Peaceful Solitude, which amassed millions of streams and marked the start of her career. That same year, she was awarded the Berklee World Tour Scholarship and enrolled full-time at Berklee College of Music to study film scoring.
Her 2023 composition Moments went viral, earning over a billion streams on TikTok and Instagram each. Similarly, Where Roses Bloom captured the hearts of listeners, with billions of streams on social media and trending in the top ten most popular songs on Instagram alongside artists like Doechii and Sabrina Carpenter. Teesa has recorded her music at world-renowned studios including Power Station NYC and Synchron Scoring Stage in Vienna, and her work has been featured by The Olympics, Seventeen Magazine, British Vogue, The NFL, BBC Earth, The Champions League, and Access Hollywood.
She has served as Lead Composer for Colorado State University’s LIFE Program and Wake Forest University's CRM Graduate School Program, orchestrated and arranged music for Emmy-winning director Alan Yang, and was honored with the George Delerue Memorial Scholarship in 2024. Her music that same year was featured in the Harvard Ballet Company's New Dawn performance. In 2025, she won first place in the Disney Television and Animation Composing Competition for her piece Power Up, and composed for viral director Phillip Linnick’s film They Were Art Thieves, which premiered at Camp Film Fest at the Paramount Theatre.
Teesa has composed for major brands such as Red Bull and has collaborated with Animal Music Studio, a commercial powerhouse known for campaigns with Toyota, McDonald’s, Xfinity, State Farm, Pepsi, and more. Currently, she collaborates with Aemeralds, a Berlin-based label at the forefront of contemporary classical and cinematic music.

Artist Statement
Making Little Things with Great Love
As someone who has felt immense peace, love, comfort, healing, and understanding through music, I only hope that my compositions could do the same for others. I value the art of storytelling greatly, whether it be sharing my own stories through my compositions or striving to enhance someone else’s through film scoring. Music, to me, serves as a direct heart to heart communication between the composer and audience; it is this connection that I am committed to nurturing throughout my life. I firmly believe that the most beautiful forms of art in this world are born from a place of authenticity and life experiences.
