Hi!
Welcome to my website, thanks for stopping by! :)
My name is Amit Weiner and I compose music for films, trailer music and Library Music with more than 15 years of experience in the industry.
The day that changed my life:
at the age of 15, I applied to join the high school at the music academy but was not accepted. It was a significant setback for me, a 15-year-old with long hair (you can't even imagine...).
This moment has had a profound impact on me, consistently motivating me to work harder and excel further in the realm of music. If you're interested, two reflections have emerged for me since that experience:
-
Adults should exercise caution to avoid dampening the spirits of the youth, particularly since we can't predict what will happen to them afterward 😄.
-
Learning to navigate life's rejections (and I've encountered quite a few since then) is among the most crucial aspects of life.
In a peculiar way, I appreciate that teacher who didn't accept me into the academy high school at 15 and taught me to confront rejections—an invaluable lesson that has stayed with me throughout my life.
My mission as musician:
I’m on a mission to help musicians find career opportunities and help musicians find their way in the huge world of the music industry!
I am signed with Universal Music Group, have licensed over 1,000 tracks, which were featured in 5000+ TV shows and trailers
I am living in Tel Aviv, Israel, and I have the pleasure of working with companies in the film industry such as Universal Production Music, Warner/Chappell Music Group Production,
Sonoton (Germany), Non Stop Music, Gothic Storm Music (UK).
I feel privileged to have my music played in many places around the world, and recorded in such studios as Abbey Road Studios (UK), and has been performed at Carnegie Hall among others.
I was extremely honored to receive the Israel Prime Minister Award for Composers 2022!
I teach composition and I am Head of the Cross-Disciplinary Composition Department at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance in Israel, and I am always open to meet new musicians and students!
