Tammy Ari is a 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.

Now based in Los Angeles, Tammy has received multiple accolades from the global screen music industry, having been nominated for a APRA Screen Music Award and Music+Sound Award for her score for In Her Nature, plus a Hollywood Music in Media Award for Dreaming Freedom.

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’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). Moreover she has worked as a freelance composer with globally renowned production houses such as Quincy Jones Productions, The DA’s Office, Hyperballad Music, and Cleod9 Music.
