Keziah Thomas is a film composer, music producer, DJ, pianist, and singer whose work blends sweeping orchestral writing with modern electronic textures and vibrant ethnic influences. Inspired by composers such as Ramin Djawadi and Hans Zimmer, she approaches every score as a form of storytelling, creating music that deepens emotion, strengthens narrative, and gives voice to the characters and worlds on screen.
Over the past two years, Keziah has composed original scores for a growing body of independent films and documentaries, including the docuseries South East Asian American Journey, directed by Quyen Nguyen-Le; Dissociater, directed by Colin Turcotte; Roboeugenic, directed by Moises E. Tobias; Milo, directed by Dillon Sharp; and Bhen Meri, directed by Akshay Gouri, among other projects. Her work has earned international recognition, including Best Soundtrack and Best Composer of the Future at the World Film Festival in Cannes. She was also a Semi-Finalist for Best Original Score at the Verona International Film Festival and received an Official Selection for Best Original Score at the Independent Shorts Awards International Film Festival.
Keziah is entering her final semester at Berklee College of Music, where she is pursuing a Bachelor of Music in Film & Media Scoring with a minor in Contemporary Conducting. In recognition of her artistic excellence, academic achievement, and leadership, she was named the Valedictorian and Commencement Speaker for Berklee College of Music's graduating Class of 2026. Beyond her work as a composer, she has served as President of the Women's Film Initiative, Student Success Director for the Student Government Association, and Creative Director for Berklee productions, including Upside Down Universe , Sin & Tonic and more. Through these roles, she has become a passionate advocate for collaboration, mentorship, and creating spaces where diverse voices can thrive.
Born and raised in Bangalore, India, Keziah began composing at the piano at the age of seven. By fifteen, she had earned a diploma in audio engineering, building a foundation in recording, mixing, and music production before discovering her passion for film scoring. As a woman pursuing a career in a field where female composers remain underrepresented, she has navigated cultural and financial barriers with resilience and determination. These experiences continue to shape her artistic voice and reinforce her belief that music can foster empathy, transcend language, and connect people across cultures.
For Keziah, the most powerful film music should be able to tell a story even without the image. She strives to write scores that reveal what words cannot, drawing audiences deeper into a film's emotional world and allowing the music to carry the narrative beyond the screen.
As she begins the next chapter of her career, Keziah hopes to compose for film, television, and interactive media, creating emotionally resonant scores that leave a lasting impact while helping pave the way for greater representation and opportunity for underrepresented composers in the industry.
