Hi, I’m Nick Altieri, composer, arranger, and the founder of Third Paw Music. I started this company out of a love for music—and yes, a few muddy paw prints on the piano bench. Third Paw is a one stop shop for all things published music. In addition to my work as a composer we offer score preparation, publishing, and printing services. From the first idea to a printed piece of music I love helping composers, performers, and ensembles bring their musical visions to life. It’s why many of the worlds best choose us.

I studied at Berklee College of Music, where I deepened my skills in composition, arranging, and performance. That foundation, combined with years of hands-on experience, allows me to bring both precision and creativity to every project.

I’ve had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with artists and ensembles like John Pattitucci, Terri-Lyne Carrington, Esperanza Spalding, Jacob Collier, The New York Philharmonic, The Boston Symphony, The Metropole Orkest, Edmar Colón, and countless others.

At Third Paw, I treat every project as if it were my own—because to me, music deserves nothing less than heart, craft, and attention to detail.
