Emmy-nominated composer Amanda Jones is a standout voice amongst a new generation of television and film composers. Her nomination in 2020 for Apple TV+’s documentary series Home gave her the unique distinction of being the first woman of color to be nominated in a score category. Jones’ television credits include National Geographic’s six-part miniseries Impact with Gal Gadot; HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show, produced by Robin Thede and Issa Rae; Freeform/Hulu’s Good Trouble; Freeform’s Love in the Time of Corona; OWN’s anthology series Cherish the Day, produced by Ava DuVernay; BET’s Twenties, produced by Lena Waithe; and more. In addition to her television credits, Jones has experience scoring both short and feature films. Notable credits include Salima Koroma’s documentary Dreamland: The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street, Menelek Lumumba’s award-winning drama 1 Angry Black Man, Andre Hormann’s documentary Ringside, which premiered at the 2019 Berlin International Film Festival, Smriti Mundhra and Sami Khan’s Oscar-nominated documentary short St. Louis Superman, and more.
