Charles-Henri Avelange is an award-winning composer of music for film and television residing in Los Angeles, CA. Charles-Henri grew up in the French Côte d'Azur, a stone's throw from the Cannes Film Festival. Son of a colonel in the French army and diplomat for the French government, his parents' activity led him to live in various places around the world, including four years in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the last year of which was during the first Gulf War. He spent seven years in a 12th century Knight Templar castle in Southwest France, the dungeon of which harbored the last species of giant bats in Europe.
