In video games, Navid's solo violin work stands out in top-selling titles from Capcom, Quantic Dream, Saber Interactive, and Lucasfilm Games, including Detroit: Become Human, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (performing the Resident Evil main menu theme), Fortnite, and orchestrations for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.

A fourth-generation musician, Navid was born in Madrid, Spain, and grew up falling in love with movie scores such as Back To The Future, The Never Ending Story and Star Wars: A New Hope. He began violin at age five and was an advanced student, having the chance to perform Vivaldi concertos in front of big crowds when he was only eight. At the age of fifteen, he started composing and taking lessons on piano, harmony, counterpoint and later on composition skills and orchestration, graduating from Madrid Royal Conservatory with a degree in Violin Performance, before earning a double major in Film Scoring and Composition (cum laude) at Berklee College of Music on scholarship. During and after his studies, he participated in master classes with renowned Hollywood composers including John Williams, Alan Silvestri, Bruce Broughton, David Newman, John Powell, Thomas Newman, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Dario Marianelli. He interned at Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions, working for composer Henry Jackman and meeting prominent figures such as Heitor Pereira, Tom Holkenborg, Lorne Balfe, Ramin Djawadi and mixer Alan Meyerson, while recording at legendary venues like Eastwood Scoring Stage, Capitol Studios, EastWest Studios, The Village, and Sunset Sound. He has mixed with Adam Schmidt, Kami Asgar and Daniel Kresco at 424 Post and Remote Control Productions.

Navid's signature style blends masterful string techniques with evocative, atmospheric scoring—ideal for tension, emotion, and introspection. His solo albums (Meditations, Violin Totem, Outlaws and Sunsets, Intangible) explore ambient, relaxation, inspirational, and meditative moods. As co-founder of American company Game Music Town, he continues to deliver original music, sound design, and voice-over for games and apps.
