About Hali

Hali Duran — Creative Media Artist

Composer • Photographer • Filmmaker

Hali Duran is a multi-award-winning Creative Media Artist—violinist/fiddler, composer, photographer, filmmaker, content creator, actress, and devoted mom to both her children and her furry companions. With a deep passion for blending music and film, Hali thrives on creative projects that bring her artistic visions to life.

Her journey as a creative began early—she started playing violin at age three, was fiddling and competing by five, composing original music by eight, and making films and writing scripts by ten. She even transformed disposable cameras into her creative playground, much to her father’s amusement. This early foundation shaped her into the multifaceted artist she is today.

Hali’s work blends cinematic scores, brand photography, and visual storytelling to spark clarity, connection, and impact. She helps creatives and small businesses bring their visions to life through authentic and meaningful media. As a mother and entrepreneur, she combines artistry with real-life experience to create work that resonates deeply.

When she’s not immersed in her craft, Hali enjoys connecting with nature—walking barefoot in the garden or spending quality time with her kids and animals. She offers tools designed for creators and collaborates on photography, branding, and custom media projects, inviting others to create something meaningful together.
