Amin Bhatia

With hundreds of scores to his credit, Emmy-nominated composer Amin Bhatia has written music for film, television, radio, theatre, and albums, for several decades, composing with as much passion as the day he started.His solo albums The Interstellar Suite and Virtuality pay homage to his love of science fiction TV and film scores, and many album tracks have become standard repertoire in music competitions. Amin recently became the first Canadian on the Board of Advisors for the Bob Moog Foundation. Film and television projects include Anne with an E (CBC/Netflix); Sullivan’s Crossing (CTV/Bell Media), the internationally-acclaimed Flashpoint for CTV and CBS as well as the CBC series X Company, all while creating guest compositions for the hit series The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu/MGM Television), Fellow Travelers (Showtime/Paramount+), Queer as Folk (Alliance Atlantis/Bravo) and The Ray Bradbury Theatre (Showtime/Amazon). His feature film credits include Storm (Cannon Films/Groundstar), Iron Eagle II (Alliance Atlantis/Tri-star/Carolco), Rescue Heroes: The Movie (Nelvana/Fisher Price), John Woo’s Once a Thief (Alliance Atlantis/CTV) and many IMAX orchestral scores for award-winning filmmaker David Lickley.

Amin (and co-writer Ari Posner), has won numerous Canadian Screen Awards for his work on Anne with an E (CBC/Netflix), Detention Adventure (CBC/HBO Max/Broken Compass Films), Flashpoint (CTV/CBS) and Let’s Go Luna (PBS/TVO/9 Storey Entertainment/Brown Bag Films), as well as an Emmy Award Nomination for the Disney sci-fi anime series Get Ed. Amin has been nominated twice for the Louis Applebaum Composers Award.

Amin’s music is as diverse as his own personal journey. “I’ve always been an outsider”, he admits “and music has been the only place where I can just be me. We’re slowly making progress in many forms of diversity and I love making music that serves those stories.” He is also an advocate for screen composers and serves on the Board of Directors for the Screen Composers Guild of Canada.
