Jonathan Berdyck is a film and media composer based in Pittsburgh, PA. 

To his wife, he's known as Jon.  To his kids, he's often referred to as "The Department", as his technical, planning, and logistics expertise is routinely tapped to address the challenges and predicaments in adulting that are incurred in everyday life.

For over 25 years, Jonathan exercised his creativity and problem solving skills in a variety of information technology management roles, most notably leading teams and initiatives in large scale enterprise healthcare and IT service management consulting contracts.  

Inside the music, Jonathan cares deeply about creating authentic, signature, and reflective scores, working closely with others to get to the 'heart of the matter'.

Beyond the music, Jonathan brings technical know-how, project management experience, leadership capabilities, collaborative spirit, and workflow and process experience to each and every one of his projects.
