About Damien Schmitt

Damien Schmitt is a French musician, producer, and composer whose career bridges performance, production, and musical storytelling.

Born into a family of musicians, he grew up immersed in music from an early age. Between his father’s drum lessons and his mother’s piano and accordion teaching, he developed a highly trained ear and an intuitive understanding of musical structure. By the age of nine, he was already performing live professionally, gaining real-world experience on stage from a very young age.

Over the years, Damien has built a diverse and international career, exploring a wide range of musical styles including jazz, pop, African, and Latin music. Having lived and worked in cities such as Paris, Los Angeles, Montreal, and now Guadalajara (Mexico), he has collaborated with artists from around the world while shaping a unique and versatile musical identity.

Alongside his work as a performer, Damien developed an early passion for recording and sound production. This dual expertise — combining musicianship and production — has become a defining element of his artistic approach.

Today, Damien Schmitt offers a range of professional services for artists, producers, and audiovisual projects:

Remote Drum Recording
From his studio in Guadalajara, he delivers high-quality drum recordings for international productions, with a strong focus on sound, feel, and musical intention.

Music Production & Artistic Direction

Songwriting & Composition for Artists
With a catalog of hundreds of original pieces, he composes and co-writes across various styles, adapting to each artist’s vision.

Film & Media Scoring
He creates music for film, television, and documentaries, with a narrative-driven approach that enhances storytelling and emotion.

Constantly evolving, Damien continues to develop projects at the intersection of music production, composition, and visual media, while maintaining active collaborations and studio work.

His background — rooted in live performance and expanded through modern production — positions him as a complete and adaptable creator, capable of contributing at every stage of a musical or audiovisual project.
