Amit May Cohen is a Los Angeles based composer and multi-instrumentalist best known for her colorful and eclectic approach to film and TV scoring.

Amit’s diverse stylistic range is represented in her hybrid-orchestral comedy scores for the live action Disney Channel films Zombies 2 and Zombies 3 (directed by Paul Hoen), as well as the quirky animated spin-off Zombies: The Re-Animated Series. Other notable projects include her guitar-centric score for the documentary 37 Words (directed by Nichole Newnham and Dawn Porter), her innovative minimalistic score for the Netflix documentary short The Dreamlife of Georgie Stone (directed by Maya Newell), and the indie farcical comedy feature The Country Club, starring actor John Higgins (of Please Don’t Destroy).

She has worked as an additional composer and/or orchestrator on projects including Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw (2019), Valley Girl (2018), SWAT (2017-2020), The Sinner (2018-2020), Curious George: Cape Ahoy (2021), American Refugee (2021), and the Australian Academy Award nominated documentary In My Blood It Runs (2019).

Originally from Israel, Amit’s debut EP Volatility (2022) showcases her exploration of unique sounds and textures, striking a balance between traditional and modern techniques. Many of her scores have incorporated experimental elements such as bicycle chains, mouth percussion, detuned guitars, and bird sounds.

Amit has a degree from Berklee College of Music and graduated from the prestigious Sundance Music and Sound Design Lab in 2018 at Skywalker Ranch. She won 2nd Place in the MTNA National Composition Competition with her contemporary piece “Black Dawn” in 2016, and was awarded the ASCAP Emerging Film Composer Award in 2015.
