- Composer
Ramiro Rodriguez Zamarripa is an LA-based composer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ramiro's musical background is diverse with influences ranging from jazz, and classical to rock, and electronic music. He plays several instruments including the guitar, piano, and violin.
Ramiro studied Composition and Music Production at the prestigious UCA (Universidad Catolica Argentina) where he graduated with honors. He started off his career composing music for commercials working as a composer for Ona Sounds, a music and sound design production studio, for clients such as Netflix, VISA, National Geographic, ESPN, FOX, Samsung, Adidas, and Coca-Cola. His love for different kinds of music genres, and his diverse background and influences made film scoring the perfect profession for him to explore. Whether the film or television series demands a big classical orchestra, an industrial electronic approach, an avant-garde jazz influence, or a heavy rock sound, Ramiro relies on his classical academic education, synth programming skills, his early rock years as a lead guitarist of local rock bands, and jazz jam session experience to deliver a bespoke score that contributes to the realization of the producers and director's vision.
Upon graduation, Ramiro's passion for film music led him to move to Los Angeles to attend the Film Scoring Program at UCLA. During this time, he interned with Tim Davies (La La Land, Frozen, Ant-Man, and the Wasp) where he contributed to the soundtrack for DreamWorks' Trollhunters, created by Academy Award Winner Guillermo del Toro. A personal recommendation from Tim Davies led Ramiro to join Attitude City Music, a company led by acclaimed composer Leo Birenberg.
Working across a variety of genres and platforms Ramiro contributed music for Netflix's hit show, Cobra Kai, Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda, and Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Hulu's multiple Emmy nominee series PEN15, Epix's docu-series Helter Skelter: An American Myth, from award-winning filmmaker and documentarian Lesley Chilcott, collaborating with award-winning composer Christophe Beck (Frozen, The Hangover, Edge of Tomorrow). Ramiro has also written music for Apple TV's animated musical comedy Central Park, created by Josh Gad, featuring Kirsten Bell and Stanley Tucci, among others. Ramiro has also worked on Quibi's mini-series comedy Die Hart, starring Kevin Hart, John Travolta, and Josh Hartnett. He has worked on several movies such as TruTV's Impractical Joker's movie Staten Island Social Club, Disney+'s Second Born Royals, and indie smash-hit Plus One, which won the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival Audience Award.
When not working for Attitude City Music Ramiro works on his own projects such as the feature documentary Iron Family, which premiered at the Wisconsin film festival, and Come Into Your Own, which premiered at the NFMLA film festival. He has also recently collaborated with Emmy nominee composer Jonathan Hartman (Superstition, Dark/Web) contributing music for Interrogator, a Games Workshop project. Ramiro still collaborates with Ona Sounds as a composer and orchestrator for multiple films and documentaries such as Ruin and Rose by acclaimed filmmaker Ben Sturgulewski and Netflix's documentary The River Runner.
Ramiro lives in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA.
