About Shaked Shachar

Shaked Shachar is a Los Angeles-based composer for film & visual media, arranger, and pianist whose credits span BBC, ABC, Paramount+, the History Channel, and the Extreme/KPM production music libraries.

Shaked started playing the piano at age 9, with extensive classical training in the class of Anna Raitburg at The Rubin Conservatory of Music in Haifa, Israel. After majoring in Composition, Arranging and Conducting at Rimon School of Music, he relocated to the United States in 2021 to study film scoring at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he graduated magna cum laude.

While at Berklee, Shaked performed as a pianist in the school's jazz big band led by Grammy-nominated saxophonist Tia Fuller (former saxophonist in Beyoncé's all-female band) and recorded piano as a featured pianist with the Berklee Film Scoring Orchestra alongside legendary film composer Alan Silvestri ("Forrest Gump," "Back to the Future"). He was honored with the Barnes & Noble Books Award for outstanding achievement in the Film Scoring department and was selected for Berklee's prestigious Wachter Fellowship.

After graduating, Shaked moved to Los Angeles to join Bleeding Fingers Music, Hans Zimmer's composer collective under Sony Music Publishing, where he collaborated on film and television projects and wrote original music for the KPM and Extreme Music production libraries.

As a composer for media, Shaked strives to create music that emotionally connects the audience to the story, with an attention to artistic detail that lets the music stand on its own.
