Casey Winn was born on October 5, 1966 in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Primarily a self-taught composer and musician. He studied music theory, played the violin and viola in elementary and middle school. During this time he became a classical music fanatic and still is today.


He continued composing string, and piano works and in early college while studying basic music theory and other classes began experimenting with electronic music and in 1989 left college to branch out on his own and started UMP Studios [United Media Productions], an electronic music studio in his home.


Winn’s electronic-symphonic scores are composed, orchestrated, performed, and recorded in his home music studio realized through his own system of synthesizers, digital live samples and computer equipment. His music is more than just an absolute listening experience. A vast amount of inspiration comes from visual events.
