Ronen Landa creates original music that is solidly grounded in classical techniques and that reflects a variety of influences—from avant-garde and world music to hip hop and rock. He especially enjoys collaborating with filmmakers; the moving image presents an opportunity to create music that is inventive and daring, and, above all, music that communicates.

Ronen's music has been hailed in the press as “an astounding auditory journey... an intricate and delightful aural treat”. His work has been heard in film screenings around the globe, on television, and in concert halls.

Recently, Ronen contributed music to the Discovery Channel/BBC original series Life as well as to Comedy Central's Colbert Report. Films he has scored include The Pact (Official Selection: Sundance), the upcoming international drama Festival of Lights, the landmark Iraqi-made documentary The Dreams of Sparrows (Official Selection: SXSW), City of Borders (Winner of the Teddy Audience Award, Berlin International Film Festival), the romantic drama Divergence (Official Selection: Method Fest), and the uplifting environmental documentary Burning in the Sun (Official Selection: New York African Film Festival).

Ronen released his debut compilation album, Picturebooks, in 2009. Among his many talented collaborators on the album are Anna Bulbrook of The Airborne Toxic Event, Emily and Julia Bruskin of the Claremont Trio, Lev Zhurbin of Ljova and the Kontraband, and Malian kora virtuoso Yacouba Sissoko. Picturebooks also features Ronen's own performances on guitar, mandolin, and oud (Arabic lute).

Upon moving to New York City at 17, Ronen was reintroduced to the Classical repertoire, and soon thereafter began composing for chamber ensembles and orchestras. Even as he continued to perform in popular settings, Ronen's musical interests broadened to include New York's improvisational music scene and different musical traditions from around the world.

Ronen received his B.A in Music and Political Science from Columbia University, where he graduated with honors from the Music department, and his M.A. in music composition and film scoring from New York University. Currently he spends time in both Los Angeles and New York.
