Niki Demiller is a French film composer based in Paris, emerging from the garage scene and bringing a sensorial, human energy to film music. His scores weave together classical orchestration and analog electronic textures, creating sound worlds that drift minimalist and melancholy.

​

In 2024 was nominated for the Sony Avant-Son Prize at the Sœurs Jumelles Festival for the feature film POSTER BOY by Laurence Garret and Juan Manuel Sepúlveda (So-Cle, Acqua Alta). That same year, he composed the sonic identity of FANTASIA (Arte Studio), a documentary series exploring artificial intelligence and contemporary art and he received the Sacem Award for Best Original Score for UNE ÉTOILE ROUGE NE MEURT JAMAIS at the Paris Podcast Festival.

​

In 2025, he was selected among the Talents of La Fête du Court Métrage for his score to LANGUE MATERNELLE by Mariame N’Diaye (Golgota), winner of Best Francophone Film at Dakar Court and nominated for the best music at Phœnix Rising London Film Festival. He also wrote the music for JUSQU’AU BOUT by Xavier Demoulin (Golgota), which won the Grand Prix at Hlm Sur Court(s).

​

Earlier projects include a live performance with his garage rock band LES BRATS for Yann Gonzalez’s short I HATE YOU LITTLE GIRLS, selected at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight, and opening for Iggy Pop at the age of 17 — a formative experience that oriented him toward cinema.

Outside film, Demiller released his debut solo album AUTOPSIE DE L’HOMME QUI VOULAIT VIVRE (La Tebwa, 2020), accompanied by a podcast inspired by his years in a call center, bridging his early “baby rocker” period with his transition into screen composition.

 

A laureate of the Émergence, Crescendo and Trio programs of La Maison du Film, he has been in residence at Moulin d’Andé – CECI and So Film, served on juries for festivals such as Premiers Plans and Hlm Sur Court(s), and was selected for the Talent Village at Les Arcs Film Festival.
