Daniel Lindholm

Daniel Lindholm is a Swedish-born composer best known for his work in the video game music industry, particularly with major Japanese franchises. He has contributed to notable titles such as Resident Evil, Yakuza, Pro Evolution Soccer, Gran Turismo, and Lollipop Chainsaw. Lindholm's career took off after participating in a song competition for a Konami soccer game, which led to his involvement with Dagmusic and the creation of a composers' division at the company. His music often blends Western influences with Japanese video game culture, and he has created memorable themes, including the "Neo-Umbrella Assault" track known for its heavy, adrenaline-pumping combat feel inspired by John Williams’ work.

Originally from Korsberga, Sweden, and having spent much of his life in Skovde, Lindholm now works primarily on game soundtracks, bringing a unique fusion of rock, electronic, and orchestral elements to his compositions. His dedication to his craft and ability to adapt across genres has earned him recognition in the video game music scene worldwide.
