## Biography

Mica Levi, also known as Micachu, is an English composer, musician and producer. Born in February 1987 in Guildford, Surrey, they studied at the Purcell School for Young Musicians and composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

They later turned to film scoring, providing the music for *Under the Skin* (2014), *Jackie* (2016), *Monos* (2019), *Zola* (2021) and *The Zone of Interest* (2023).
