Kei Song (a.k.a. Manik) began his musical journey at the age of eight with the flute and piano. At fourteen, he officially chose music as his career path by majoring in piano, later earning recognition in numerous youth competitions, including the Grand Prize at the Sekwang International Competition and the Top Prize at the Yonsei Music Competition. He also served as the piano department representative at Seoul Performing Arts High School.

 After graduating high school, Kei contributed to over 50 commercial music projects, covering composition, arrangement, recording, and mixing. He gained diverse practical experience through collaborations with institutions such as the Korea National University of Arts. Currently, he is studying Electronic Production & Design and Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music, with minors in Theory of Jazz & Popular Song and Record and Production for Musicians.

 Kei’s primary digital audio workstation is Ableton Live, complemented by Cubase, Logic Pro, and Pro Tools, depending on the needs of each project. He handles composition, sound design, and arrangement mainly in Ableton, Cubase, and Logic, while mixing and mastering are done in either Ableton or Pro Tools based on workflow. Dolby Atmosproduction is also available, subject to the technical environment.

 His core strengths include foley-style sound design, hybrid orchestration, and full-spectrum production skills, enabling him to meet the diverse technical demands of commercial music and media scoring. With a deep foundation in electronic music and cross-disciplinary expertise, Kei delivers cohesive and technically polished results.

 Musically, Kei focuses on hybrid orchestration that blends jazz, contemporary music, and electronic textures, rhythm-driven fusion jazz, and cinematic soundscapes with avant-garde and fantastical narratives. His work is marked by fast turnaround, precise direction, and a commitment to both efficiency and creative depth.
