WALK THROUGH OUR HOUSE/

VISION/

The home of creators. The workshop of innovators.

MISSION/

Connecting virtuosos to create better: new sonic expressions and tones that enhance the human connection to the visual story.

PASSION/

Women and people of color composers are significantly underrepresented in film music (10% worked on the top-grossing films from 2000-2023 - Composers Diversity Report 2023).

Therefore Veirtu’s mission is to nurture and champion more WOC and POC composers to enter the industry through paid internship and mentorship programs.

FOUNDER/

Tammy Ari (Tanya Ariaratnam) is a Los Angeles-based, Sri Lankan-Australian composer, who is best known for her scores for In Her Nature (PBS), For Winter (National Geographic), Drug Lords: The Takedown (National Geographic), Tripped Up (Lunch Hour Productions), The Australian Wars (Blackfella Films), and more.

Her deep roots as a classical pianist, coupled with her prior ventures as a songwriter-producer in the electronic music world, has culminated in an elixir of experiences that give her scores a unique sensory tone. Tammy’s creative ethos and approach is about throwing notes against walls — music that challenges sonic boundaries and is a vessel to propel breakthrough storytelling. 

Tammy has been globally recognized as a leading voice among a new generation of film composers — having been selected to join the prestigious 2025 Women in Film Fellowship Program, Television Academy, 2025 ScreenCraft Works Cross-Border Mentoring Programme, and APRA AMCOS 23% mentorship program (mentoring emerging composer talent). 

Tammy’s compositions have also led her to collaborate with acclaimed composers such as Jacob Collier (Reflection: A Walk with Water) and Kris Bowers (Dreaming Freedom - where she received a Hollywood Music In Media Award Nomination in 2024). Moreover she has worked as a freelance composer with globally renowned production houses such as Quincy Jones Productions, Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions, The DA’s Office, Hyperballad Music, and Cleod9 Music.

With a passion for connecting creatives, and harnessing music social impact, Tammy founded composing house,Veirtu and non-profit production house,xPropelr.
