Gary Malkin is a vanguard in the confluence of music, transformational media, peace building, cross cultural awareness, life transition support, and overall health and wellness. Originally recognized for his multiple Emmy-winning soundtracks for the first half of his career, he has since become known as a leader in the field of harnessing the power of music for healing, especially during the significant transitions of life. His mission is to awaken humanity’s potential through the intentional integration of emotional, spiritual, and physical intelligence, leveraging the universal language of human emotion, music. With an unprecedented commitment to musically enhance the spoken wisdom of the world’s most respected humanitarian visionaries and spiritual leaders as described in his new nonprofit, the Global Wisdom Foundation, Gary has recorded and collaborated with literally hundreds of luminaries such as Deepak Chopra, Lynne Twist, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Brother David Stiendl-Rast, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, infusing spoken wisdom with cinematic soundscapes to enable us to listen not only with our linear minds, but with our hearts and souls as well. His goal is to harness the power of music, wisdom, and immersive media to help us to learn how to “think with our hearts and feel with our minds.”
His prodigious body of work offers numerous experiential resources that address life's critical moments - from the tenderness of birth (Safe in the Arms of Love, and the envisioned Broadway musical Unexpected) to the sanctity of the end-of-life process. His globally acclaimed masterpiece, 'Graceful Passages: A Companion for Living and Dying' (co-created with Michael and Doris Stillwater and recipient of the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Award) has helped more than a million people to not only navigate the end-of-life journey with greater acceptance, presence, and compassion; It was also created to help the mainstream world cultivate greater “spiritual maturity”, which, when achieved, will help people to better accept the reality of our mortality. This essential maturity brings forth an intrinsic gratitude for the very preciousness of life, which is essential for developing peaceful, empowering relationships with each other, the planet, and all of life. His innovative Rejuvenation Stations, now integral to many healthcare institutions in North America, exemplify his commitment to nurturing the well-being of caregivers.
Gary's digital footprints include viral YouTube collaborations celebrating gratitude and peace, (such as “Gratitude”, with award-winning cinematographer, Louie Schwartzberg, with 50 million cumulative views, and counting) while his literary contributions to seminal compilations highlight the role of music in life's most significant passages. His influence extends to prestigious forums and global conferences, where he has served as a keynote speaker, educated people as a music and healing innovator, and served as an Artistic Director and curator of events, as he has for institutions such as the Global Philanthropy Forum, the Quest for Global Healing Conferences, and the Institute for Noetic Sciences International Conferences on Health and Human Consciousness.
A pioneer in conscious media (Islands of Inner Peace on Gaia TV), deeply dedicated to making a social impact by scoring over a hundred socially responsible documentaries, creator of the iconic TV show, 'Unsolved Mysteries', (currently playing on Netflix) and the composer for the most viewed documentaries in the world, Thrive I and II, (produced by Foster and Kimberly Gamble), Gary continues to share his insights on the crucial role music and conscious media must play for a world that works for all.
