Composer, Vivek Maddala (The Tom and Jerry Show, The Asian Americans)

(TSAP S03E12)

Sam speaks to composer Vivek Maddala, about his journey into
music, scoring for the iconic TV series The Tom & Jerry Show
and more!


"Vivek Maddala is a two-time Emmy award-winning composer and
multi-instrumental performer. He has scored dozens of feature
films, theater & dance productions, and TV programs. His
music, which combines melodic symphony writing with modern
textures from around the world, has been described as "an emotive
frenzy of guitar, percussion, brass, woodwinds, and strings."
Vivek is a Sundance Institute Lab Fellow for film composition,
and has had work premiere at the Cannes, Toronto, Berlin, Venice,
and Sundance film festivals. In 2018 and 2019, Vivek won
consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards in the category of "Outstanding
Music Composition" for his animation scoring work.


In addition to scoring films, Vivek has produced music for a
number of rock, jazz, and world music CD releases -- and his live
performances collaborating with celebrated artists have enchanted
audiences from around the globe. As a performer, Vivek journeys
fluidly through diverse musical styles, and effortlessly between
many instruments -- including drums, piano, guitar, and bass. He
has also served as a guest conductor with renowned orchestras and
chamber groups, performing work he has written for ballets and
films."
