Biography[edit]
Abounnasr was born on the 10th of January, 1990 in London, England.[1] She initially got into piano and composing at 7 years old,[2] and became more serious about pursuing composing as a career while taking a variety of music classes at the age of 14.[2] Abounnasr also discovered video game music at this time, specifically with the game Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil.[2]
Abounnasr received her Bachelors degree in music from the University of London and her Masters degree from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.[1] During her studies, she met Yasunori Mitsuda and began work with Procyon Studio as an orchestrator.[2] Abounnasr's first major work as a composer was for the soundtrack of Another Eden. She has continued to work as a composer, arranger and orchestrator of music with Procyon Studio until present.
Relevance to the Xeno series[edit]
