Iranian of the Day

Best known for his Grammy-nominated, guitar-driven score for “Iron Man,” Ramin Djawadi's 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.” >>>
