Alfons 'Alfi' Kabiljo (Croatian pronunciation: [âlfi kabǐːʎo]; born 22 December 1935 in Zagreb, Croatia) is a Croatian composer and musician. He has been composing for over 60 years. During that time he has created an opus of more than 40 film and more than 100 episode soundtracks, eleven musical theaters, two musical films and two ballets. His musical theaters have been performed over 2000 times.
He was taught music by the Croatian composer Rudolf Matz and later enrolled the Vatroslav Lisinski music school. Roger Samyn helped him brush up his composing skills. Although he received a degree on the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Zagreb, Alfi Kabiljo has never made use of it. He has spent most of his life in the Zagreb neighborhood of Šalata, although he stayed in Paris for a short while. Kabiljo is a former president of the Croatian Composers' Society (Croatian: Hrvatsko društvo skladatelja) and a member of the FIDOF organization.
Alfi wrote his first song when he was eight years old.
Since then, he has written soundtracks for various films, including the 1991 film Scissors, starring Sharon Stone and Ronny Cox, and the 1986 film The Girl. He has also written soundtracks for over 100 television episodes, including the Croatian TV mini-series Ljubav ili smrt, based on a novel by Ivan Kušan, the TV series Ne daj se Floki, and series about the famous inventor Nikola Tesla.
