Gary Malkin is an award-winning composer/producer and public speaker dedicated to catalyzing social change and individual healing through the creation of inspiring, music-infused resources and events.
In 1992, after his daughter was born, a desire emerged to use his gifts to the world in more meaningful ways. Since that time, he has immersed himself in social benefit projects, promoting the use of music and transformational media to promote peace, environmental sustainability, and an integration of mind, heart, and spirit in all that we do. His passion for the humanizing role that music and the arts can play in society’s institutions consistently inflames the hearts and minds of his audiences through media projects, keynote presentations, consultations and musical performances around the globe.
Gary has enjoyed a highly successful career for nearly 35 years, having received numerous Emmys, ASCAP awards and Clios that have acknowledged his work in film, television, commercials, and CD production. He's been working for the last twenty-five years with music partner Dan Alvarez through their music production company, Musaic. They just completed the scores for two projects currently sweeping the globe - the Pachamama Alliance's Awakening the Dreamer Symposium and Thrive: What on Earth Will It Take? which has just hit the 10 Million mark in terms of worldwide views in twenty Languages.
He is the co-creator (with award-winning musician/filmmaker, Michael Stillwater) of the internationally acclaimed CD/Book, Graceful Passages: A Companion for Living and Dying, which offers aesthetic ways to help face life/death transitions with greater mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion. In 2011, he co-authored another groundbreaking CD/Book called Safe in the Arms of Love, utilizing music to support the bonding process for parents and newborns. After launching his short-format contemplative media genre called WisdomFilms, (now available on www.hulu.com), he collaborated with award winning cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg by creating the spoken word and music montage for the short film, Gratitude, currently the most popular TEDx talk in history.
