AMIN BHATIA BIOGRAPHY

Emmy nominated composer Amin Bhatia has a fascination with orchestral music and electronics which won him international fame in his youth. It led to projects with David Foster’s The Best of Me, with Steve Porcaro on Toto’s Fahrenheit, and a synth-orchestral solo album on Capitol records’ Cinema label titled The Interstellar Suite.

The realism and expression of Amin's sound consistently wins acclaim in both the electronic and classical music genres. His scores to the IMAX films Mysteries of the Great Lakes and Jane Goodall’s Wild Chimpanzees feature members of the Toronto Symphony and Opera Orchestras with hit songs for the Jane Goodall documentary recorded in Africa with Johnny Clegg. The GFT epic war feature Going Back was recorded by the Munich Symphony Orchestra. Other films include John Woo’s Once A Thief and Iron Eagle II.
