Gary Malkin is a seven time Emmy® award-winning composer, producer, performer, public speaker and Experiential Strategist dedicated to making a difference in the world by creating music-driven media and experiences that inspire the heart and catalyze individual and societal healing.
Gary is passionate about the vital role music, media, and the arts must play as a tool to enhance our humanity, deepen the sense of meaning in our lives, and cultivate greater emotional intelligence in an increasingly complex world.

In 2011, he co-authored another ground-breaking CD/Book called Safe in the Arms of Love, utilizing the power of music to raise awareness about a pressing social issue involving the ubiquitous digital distractions that threaten the essential bonding process for parents and newborns. Constantly reinventing new ways in which media can serve as a resource for a more positive purpose, he also released WisdomFilms™ – Media for Human Being, which is comprised of short-format films for stress reduction and heart/mind integration (available now on Hulu.com).
In 2008, Gary was commissioned by the CEO and curator of TED, Chris Anderson, to create the opening and closing music for the global broadcast phenomenon, Pangea Day.
