Paulette Verlée is a Brussels-based composer and pianist working at the intersection of neoclassical composition, electronics, and film music. Her work feels cinematic and timeless — soundtracks for imaginary films, built around the quiet power of the piano.

Trained at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven, where she graduated with highest distinction, her music moves fluidly between minimalism, improvisation, and slow-building atmosphere. Rooted in classical tradition, it reaches equally toward ambient texture, emotional storytelling, and the space where sound becomes image.

Live, she performs alongside cellist Maaike Organe — loop station, piano, synths, electronics, and percussion, set against live projections. A full sensory experience.

Nils Frahm selected her track 'Reprieve' for his own personal playlist. Winner of the 2025 Film Sync Awards. 2nd place in the World Piano Day International Composition Competition (jury chaired by Dirk Brossé). Semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition (US, 2026, ongoing).

Alongside her own recordings, she composes for film, television, and theatre — registered freelance composer at VRT, Belgium's national public broadcaster.
