Dimitri Smith is an acclaimed composer and pianist known for blending his classical roots with a style that is fiercely modern, imaginative, and collaborative.  He recently co-scored Sony’s Long Bright River with James Poyser, which stars Amanda Seyfried and immediately hit #1 on Peacock.  He also co-scored the Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award Nominated Netflix series The Diplomat with Nathan Barr, starring Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell, which went on to be one of the most watched shows of the year.

After a stint in orchestration, Dimitri began working closely with Emmy-winning composer Nathan Barr – first as an assistant, then as additional music composer, and then as co-composer on The Diplomat.  Some of these additional music projects include season 4 of Apple’s The Morning Show, Amazon’s Carnival Row, Hulu’s The Great, Netflix’s Kate, Netflix’s Halston, Netflix’s Hollywood, which earned an Emmy nomination for its jazz score, and others.  Dimitri also co-arranged the Main Title for Hollywood, and was honored by the Television Academy for his contribution when Nathan won the Emmy for “Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music”.

In the world of feature films, Dimitri scored The Mystery of Her, which reached the Netflix Top 10 globally and in 10 different countries.  He also scored the animated feature film Unicorn Boy, which stars Patton Oswalt and premiered at the Slamdance Festival.  He provided additional music to the Stephen King Salem’s Lot adaptation on Max, as well as to the Lionsgate theatrical horror film Prey for the Devil.

Originally from rural Washington state, Dimitri moved to Los Angeles in 2009 to attend Pepperdine University, where he earned a double major in Composition and Opera Performance.  He now lives by the beach with his wife Molly and their daughter Charlie.
