Toprak is one of the most refreshing voices in film music. With her orchestral music for Captain Marvel, she became the first female composer to score a film set in the Marvel cinematic universe. Having studied and practiced music from a young age, Toprak earned a bachelor’s degree in film scoring and a master’s degree in composition at age 22 before working alongside legendary composers such as Hans Zimmer and William Ross.

Pinar went on to make a name for herself, scoring dozens of projects across many mediums, including the massively popular video game Fortnite, Syfy television series Krypton, the thriller The River Murders, the period drama The Lightkeepers, and additional music for Justice League.
