Ronnie Minder is an award-winning international composer whose career spans more than two decades. He is best known for his score for the Australian Western epic 'The Legend of Ben Hall', which was in the running for a ‘Best Score’ Academy Award nomination alongside Hans Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat, Nick Cave, and Max Richter. Minder also composed the score for the critically acclaimed thriller 'The Cost' which became a top-four film on Netflix.
Minder’s distinctive thematic writing and his versatility across contemporary, orchestral, and electronic styles have made him a highly sought-after composer for film and television. He was selected to score Ridley Scott’s 'Life in a Day in Switzerland' and has since scored numerous award-winning projects, including the Sea Shepherd feature 'Defend, Conserve, Protect' (featuring Dan Aykroyd), the Saban Films-distributed gangster thriller 'Kane', and the Channel Nine exclusive 'Strange Creatures'.
A composer since the age of 14, Minder shifted his focus entirely to film scoring in 2014 after a successful and extensive career in electronic music and after releasing his work on many record labels globally. He later founded his own record label, Esperanto Records, with millions of listeners streaming his music each month across digital and social media platforms. His scores have been featured many times on the front page of the iTunes America ‘Soundtracks’ section, including during Oscars season, alongside works from many of the industry’s most influential composers.
Minder continues to build strong creative partnerships with producers and directors. He recently completed the score for Blair Moore’s thriller 'Badland Rising', marking their second collaboration. He is also set to score his third feature with director Matthew Holmes, the upcoming WWI epic 'The Sundowner', with several additional features in development.
