Amie Doherty became the first female composer to score a DreamWorks animated feature film with the 2021 release of Spirit Untamed. Since graduating from the Berklee Valencia’s scoring for film, television, and video games program, she has racked up a number of credits as a composer, orchestrator, and conductor, including the Emmy Award-nominated documentary Light in the Water, Lady Gaga's Grammy Award-nominated 2020 album Chromatica, and DreamWorks Animation’s short film Marooned, for which she won Best Score for an Animated Short at the 2019 Hollywood Music in Media Awards.
“To have the name Berklee attached to me has always meant so much to me,” said Doherty. “It was a pipe dream of epic proportions growing up. To be here to represent the Valencia campus…[our class] was the first year, and it was the best year of my life.”
