I'm Tee Lopes and I'm a composer, arranger, writer and sound designer. I was born in Portugal and have been living in the USA since 2002. I am a self-taught musician who discovered composition at a tender age. A stage lover, I formed my first band  at 9 years-old and have been involved in several musical acts ever since. As a teenager in 2005, I fell in love with hip-hop and eventually wrote and released tracks in Portuguese, some of which went viral amongst Portuguese-speaking listeners.

In 2007, after producing countless instrumentals for ascending and well known rappers, came the odd opportunity to compose for a videogame - an industry I quickly fell in love with. After some years split between handling small indie projects, releasing remixes on YouTube and composing for artists, the definite shift to games came in 2013 with my first full-fledged game soundtrack for PagodaWest's highly acclaimed "Major Magnet", which helped me to establish myself as a videogame composer.

In 2015, I was invited to provide brand-new tracks, as well as arrangements for the award-winning game "Sonic Mania", which was released in 2017. Since "Sonic Mania", I've worked on other SEGA projects like the animated series "Sonic Mania Adventures" (2018) and "Team Sonic Racing" (2019) with composer Jun Senoue. I also composed for other titles such as "Monster Boy", "Mighty Fight Federation", "League of Legends" and more . My first album "Youniverse" was released in December of 2018, and is available in every digital store.
