JØRGENSEN, Amy

Amy Jørgensen is an award-winning Australian composer and pianist.

Amy's story began in a remote country town in outback rural Australia. Even before she started school, Amy’s mother would sit beside her at the piano, recounting stories that Amy would improvise music to. It was in these moments that a love for emotive, musical story-telling was born. Amy's mother told her that one day, she would write music for the movies. Since then, Amy has dedicated her life to writing cinematic music that tells a story.

Amy has written music for dozens of well-known Australian TV shows, including beloved Aussie drama, Home & Away; children’s animations series Bluey; teen fantasy Mako Mermaids; reality series Last Resort and Look Me In the Eye (hosted by Ray Marin): Hamish & Andy's True Story; and Winners & Losers (which was nominated in 2012 as Australia's most popular drama series).

Amy has written music for projects with Channel 7, The Nine Network, The ABC, SBS, National Geographic, Netflix, 21st Century FOX, Nickelodeon and The Disney Channel.

Amy worked with Hollywood film-maker James Cameron (Director of Avatar and Titanic) on the music score for his documentary, Deepsea Challenge 3D, which earned Amy an Australian Academy Award nomination for "Best Original Score".
