Biography

[edit | edit source]

Call was born in California, U.S., on June 29, 1988.[1] As a teenager, Call was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia and had to take a break from going to school. During that time, he learned to play bluegrass guitar from a local teacher. Call later made a friend in his hometown who taught him about Japanese anime and video games, which prompted him to start composing orchestral music.[2] He joined the choir club when he entered high school.[3] After graduating, Call enrolled at the Berklee College of Music, where he majored in film scoring.[3][4][5]

After graduating from college, he debated if he should pursue a career in film music in Hollywood.[6] In the end, he decided to move to Japan on a tourist visa to work in the anime and game industry.[6] Three months after his arrival, he was introduced to Junpei Fujita, a music creator working at Elements Garden.[3] After an interview with Fujita and a review of his music portfolio, Call joined Elements Garden. He began composing music in Japan in 2012, where he gained attention for his grand arrangements and impressive symphonic music.[6] After his employment, Call was introduced to Yōta Tsuruoka, a sound director at Kyoto Animation.[3] Alongside Tsuruoka, Call began composing the soundtracks for the anime series Tokyo ESP and Violet Evergarden.[7][8] Call would continue to compose soundtracks for other anime series and films such as Josee, the Tiger and the Fish.[9] In 2025, Call won a Tokyo Anime Award in the Sound/Performance category,[10] and was nominated for Best Score at the 9th Crunchyroll Anime Awards for his work on Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.[11]

Call left Elements Garden on June 30, 2016, due to his contract expiring.[12] Since 2017, he has been a member of the Japanese agency Miracle Bus (ja).[4]
