Scott Majidi is a screen composer and multi-disciplined musical
artist based in Sydney, NSW. Scott's signature style emerged from
his fascination with combining western classical, traditional
middle eastern, and contemporary music - and how they can be used
to explore the intersections between music and culture. Drawing
inspiration from his upbringing as a member of the Persian
diaspora within Australia, and his propensity for
experimentation, Scott continues to explore complex feelings and
ideas in his work, finding ways to present them that feel both
familiar and brand new at the same time.
Learning multiple instruments and taking various music classes
when he was younger, Scott moved from his small hometown of
Albany, WA, to undertake an undergraduate degree of Screen
Production in Perth. It was here that his passion for music would
coalesce with his latest interest in filmmaking. Upon completing
this degree, Scott made the journey from the WA to Sydney in 2019
to study his Masters of Screen: Music at the Australian Film
Television and Radio School (AFTRS), which he graduated in
2021.
Since graduating from his masters, Scott has scored many film
works - many of them being played at varuious film festivals,
private functions and in educational settings. Career highlights
include having scored multiple award-winning short films and an
ABC mini-series, selected by festivals such as SFF, SKFF. AACTA,
AWFF, Flickerfest and more.
In addition to film scoring, Scott has work across other mediums
spanning media content, live performance, marketing, and
advertising. He's worked with multiple organisations such as Bus
Stop Films, Vivid, Rhythm Village, Fringe, AFTRS, and Ironbark
Films. He has collaborated with professional musicians from
prominent ensembles like Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Australian
Chamber Orchestra. Scott has also worked with other notable
ensembles like Taikoz, Symphony Central Coast, and various
national and international artists.
Scott's artistic journey is grounded by a strong moral desire to
champion inclusion and diversity across all his various projects,
with an emphasis on representing marginalised groups including
LGBTQIA+, CALD and Disability communities. In addition to
creative work, Scott is also passionate about teaching, research,
and community engagement. Through these contributions, he hopes
to support the continued growth of emerging artists and keep
encouraging meaningful connections between music and
audiences.
Looking ahead, Scott continues to develop new projects that
challenge conventions and broaden artistic dialogue. His work
reflects an ongoing commitment to the vibrancy of the
ever-evolving contemporary music landscape.
