    Bio

    Savina began her career at Walt Disney Records in A&R, earning 15 RIAA-certified gold, platinum, and diamond awards for iconic soundtracks such as Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Mulan, and Tarzan. After departing Disney, she joined the leadership team at the American Federation of Musicians’ National Headquarters, where she led the Electronic Media Services Division. She rapidly expanded the video game department by establishing a widely supported recording agreement, which increased musicians’ wages and benefits tenfold in her first year. From the union, she pivoted back to production as the marketing liaison for Skywalker Sound, procuring work and managing score recording sessions featuring the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra. She later launched and managed a thriving music department at Formosa Interactive.

    Savina has produced music and BTS videos for first-party platform holders such as Sony Interactive Entertainment, Xbox Game Studios, and Nintendo, as well as major publishers including Riot Games, Epic Games, Activision, Blizzard Entertainment, Ubisoft, Tencent Games, Netflix Games, NetEase, Scopely, and Wizards of the Coast. She has contributed to AAA game franchises such as Call of Duty, Halo, League of Legends, Assassin’s Creed, Age of Empires, God of War, Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Towerborne, Fortnite, Squid Game: Unleashed, Microsoft Flight Simulator, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, and Honor of Kings. She has also collaborated with renowned composers including Volker Bertelmann, Alexandre Desplat, Ramin Djawadi, and Brian Tyler, and has recorded with premier orchestras and choirs around the world.

    Savina currently serves as Senior Director of Music at Sound Lab a Keywords Studio, Executive Director of the Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.), Co-Producer of the G.A.N.G. Awards, and Editor-In-Chief of The Audio Source Magazine. She is a frequent speaker at industry events and academic institutions, including the Game Developers Conference (GDC), GameSoundCon, USC, NYU, Berklee College of Music, and BIG Festival in São Paulo, Brazil. She is a member of Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.), Society of Composer and Lyricists (SCL), and Women Industry Network (WIN).

    Her career reflects a deep commitment to supporting composers and musicians while advancing the artistry and business of interactive music and sound throughout the global games industry.
