Kevin Queille is a Swiss film composer based in Geneva. A pianist, drummer, and multi-instrumentalist, he trained in music theory, classical music, and jazz.

He began composing for films made with his brother using a small synthesizer, before gradually learning to compose on computer.
His approach to film music is based on close collaboration with directors, editors, and producers, creating compositions that perfectly fit their needs while adding his personal touch. Influenced by a wide variety of musical styles, Kevin is known for his versatility. However, his guiding principle is "organic," preferring to use real instruments and musicians when the budget allows.

Three years later, he composed the music for Chronique d’une mort oubliée, a documentary that won numerous awards, including the Nymph d’Or at Monte Carlo.
