Tammy Ari

Tammy Ari is a Los Angeles-based, Sri Lankan-Australian composer, who is best known for her scores for In Her Nature (PBS), For Winter (National Geographic), Drug Lords: The Takedown (National Geographic), Tripped Up (Lunch Hour Productions), The Australian Wars (Blackfella Films), and more.

Her deep roots as a classical pianist, coupled with her prior ventures as a songwriter-producer in the electronic music world, has culminated in an elixir of experiences that give her scores a unique sensory tone. Tammy’s creative ethos and approach is about throwing notes against walls — music that challenges sonic boundaries and is a vessel to propel breakthrough storytelling.

Tammy has been globally recognized as a leading voice among a new generation of film composers — having been selected to join the prestigious 2025 Women in Film Fellowship Program, Television Academy, 2025 ScreenCraft Works Cross-Border Mentoring Programme, and APRA AMCOS 23% mentorship program (mentoring emerging composer talent).

Tammy’s compositions have also led her to collaborate with acclaimed composers such as Jacob Collier (Reflection: A Walk with Water) and Kris Bowers (Dreaming Freedom - where she received a Hollywood Music In Media Award Nomination in 2024). Moreover she has worked as a freelance composer with globally renowned production houses such as Quincy Jones Productions, Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions, The DA’s Office, Hyperballad Music, and Cleod9 Music.
