Based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy book series A Song Of Ice and Fire, the Emmy® Award-winning drama series Game of Thrones follows kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and noblemen who are engaged in a deadly cat-and-mouse game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The epic series’ storylines have captured the imagination of fans globally and made it one of the most popular shows on television. Ramin Djawadi may be best known for his Grammy-nominated, guitar-driven score for “Iron Man,” but his repertoire covers a wide variety of film genres. After graduating summa cum laude from Berklee School of Music in 1998, the German-born film composer garnered the attention of Hans Zimmer, who recruited him to Remote Control Productions. After moving to Los Angeles, Djawadi wrote additional music on “The Time Machine,” “Basic,” “The Recruit” and the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” He then collaborated with Zimmer, co-composing and producing the score for “Thunderbirds” and collaborating on “Something’s Gotta Give” and “Batman Begins.” Djawadi then went out on his own with “Blade: Trinity,” collaborating with The RZA for director David Goyer. This was the beginning of his relationship with Goyer for both film and television.
