Born and raised on the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains, Anwen’s creativity was nurtured by the vast landscapes, rugged mountain ridges, and the tight-knit community of her small town. These formative years sparked her early curiosities and musical inclinations, leading her to explore every instrument she could get her hands on—starting with piano, violin, and flute—before discovering her true passion for the viola at age ten. It was through the viola that Anwen found her musical voice, which led her to join her local youth orchestra and begin composing.

​

At just fourteen, Anwen composed her first public work for the Valley Youth Orchestra, marking the beginning of her composing career. By the time she left for college, she had already written six commissioned pieces for orchestras and ensembles across Colorado. These early experiences not only refined her craft but ignited a deep passion for composing music for visual media.

Anwen’s drive to pursue music for film and television led her to Berklee College of Music, where she was awarded a full-tuition scholarship and, in 2023, the prestigious Spring Divisional Achievement Award. While at Berklee, she had the privilege of studying under renowned composers Claudio Ragazzi, Duncan Watt, Caio Miguel Jiacomini, Tim Huling, and Alison Plante. These mentors played a pivotal role in her growth, helping her refine her skills in both symphonic orchestration and hybrid scoring.
