With more than 50 scores to his credit, Emmy-nominated screen composer Amin Bhatia has written music for film, television, radio, theatre, IMAX movies, and his own albums, for more than 30 years.

A composer of orchestral and electronic music, Bhatia has scored television projects that include Anne with an E, Flashpoint and X Company as well as guest compositions on The Handmaid’s Tale and Queer as Folk. His feature film credits include Storm, Iron Eagle II, Rescue Heroes: The Movie, John Woo’s Once a Thief and many IMAX documentaries for award-winning filmmaker David Lickley. Amin and longtime friend and collaborator Ari Posner have won Canadian Screen Awards (CSAs) for their work on both Anne with an E and Flashpoint, as well as an Emmy Award nomination for the Disney series Get Ed.

In his youth, some of Amin’s synth programming for an international competition ended up on Michael Jackson’s Thriller LP. Later, his solo albums The Interstellar Suite and Virtuality earned rave reviews and are now standard repertoire in many high-school and marching band competitions. A full-scale orchestral version of The Interstellar Suite is in progress.

Amin has worked as a consultant or programmer to many synthesizer companies, including Roland, Q Sound, Arturia, Spectrasonics, and Sequential. He recently dusted off his acting resumé with speaking roles in Christoph Waltz‘s Georgetown and CBS’s Blood and Treasure.

Amin was also the arranger for the new version of the Nashid Al-Imamah that was released during the Golden Jubilee and was the conductor of the Nashid Al-Imamah at the Diamond Jubilee Homage Ceremony.​
