In a world where music is ubiquitous, we often forget the power it has to make or break TV and film scenes. The soundtracks of most film scenes are often overlooked in the production process, which Tian Boothe says should never be the case. As a filmmaker and musical artist, Boothe knows that music can bring even the most mundane scene to life and enhance its emotional impact. That’s why Boothe strives to create splendid music for every scene she produces. Boothe has an impressive resume with her work on film and television series through her ability to create tension, moods, and atmosphere in scenes of all types.
Boothe draws inspiration from daily life to create music that transports the audience to another place and time. She says each story is different, and that’s why she meticulously selects the music to ensure the tone and mood represent what each scene is about. Boothe is especially adept at creating pieces that bring emotions to the surface, leaving the audience feeling the impacts for days on end. Boothe’s style typically features pop music mixed with a bit of classical, but she’s proficient at other genres.
Boothe’s resume includes films such as Shattered Dream, E.R. Compliance, and E.R. Emotional Release, which she performed alongside actress Cate Kessler. She also had a notable performance in the Amazon Prime Video Ain’t No Other Way.
However, Boothe’s journey to the top of her industry was not a smooth one. As a child growing up in Jamaica, she knew she wanted to do something in the entertainment industry. Boothe had the talent for it, and she had sufficient motivation from her uncle and older brother. The former is an award-winning Jamaican reggae artist and the latter a renowned music producer. However, Boothe’s parents had different ambitions for their daughter.
After her high school graduation, Boothe traveled to the U.S. to study software engineering. In 2013, she started her first job in tech but realized she didn’t like it that much. Her heart yearned for something in the arts, and Boothe felt compelled to pursue a career there. Determined to regain her joy, she started a new career as a filmmaker and grew her resume. Boothe had a natural knack for acting and film producing, which catalyzed her success in the industry. Achieving her dream of being an entertainer motivated Boothe to pursue her passion all the more, and that’s how she found herself creating music.
With no one to dictate what she could or couldn’t do, Boothe created compositions that have been lauded for their emotional resonance. Boothe has won many awards for her original scores, which made her realize music was where she was meant to be. She has overcome many challenges and continued to soar, cementing her reputation as a filmmaker and artist to watch out for. Boothe’s goal is to keep learning and diversifying her skills and to motivate even more people to pursue their goals. “I believe everyone has the same amount of potential,” she says. “If you never lose hope, I believe it keeps you on the right path towards achieving your goals.”
