Milo Paulus (b. August 14th, 1999) is a Dutch composer, conductor, orchestrator and score producer specializing in original music for concerts, screen and stage productions. His catalog spans a diverse range of styles and influences for both instrumental and vocal works, as well as countless original soundtracks for films and video-games. His works have been commissioned by various performing groups, festivals and institutions.

After receiving his first bachelor — a BSc specialising in marketing, programming and visual creativity at the age of just 20 — he decided to fully dedicate his energy to music.

In September of 2021 — after completing two courses at Utrecht University dedicated to music theory and composition the previous year — he started his official higher musical education at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent, for composition under teachers Daan Janssens and Dominique Pauwels, while also studying orchestral conducting with Bart Picquer and choral conducting with Johannes Dewilde.

On June 27th, 2024 — after premiering a 30-minute contemporary ballet, Omphalos, (composed for, and produced in collaboration with, the Art Academy of Deinze) in five scenes — he graduated "magna cum laude" in Music Composition from the Royal Conservatory of Ghent.
