Mikolai Stroinski (or Mikołaj Stroiński, born June 3, 1979) is a Polish composer of film, television, and video game music. Stroinski comes from a family with deep musical roots. His great-uncle, Marian Stroinski, served as the music director and conductor of the prestigious Kielce Philharmonic in Poland. Stroinski's father, a retired jazz trumpeter, gave him his first harmony lessons at the age of five. This immersion in both classical music and jazz provided a strong foundation for Stroinski .
