Berlin-based Boris Bojadzhiev is regarded as one of the most versatile German film composers of his generation. After having studied cello at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich, Boris Bojadzhiev attended the Film and Television University Konrad Wolf (HFF) in Potsdam-Babelsberg and graduated in Film Music. The multi-instrumentalist extensively devoted himself to composing, recording compositions with the renowned German Film Orchestra Babelsberg and writing numerous film scores.

Upon completion of his studies, Boris Bojadzhiev wrote the music for Kohlhaas or the Proportionality of Means - the highly praised debut feature film of director Aron Lehmann. Further collaborations with Lehmann include the comedy Highway to Hellas, which had its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival in October 2015, where it received the Audience Award as well as his films Die letzte Sau, The most beautiful girl in the world, which premiered at Munich International Film Festival 2018, a six-part Netflix-series and Lehmann’s project Was man von hier aus sehen kann (2022).

He scored Aelrun Goette’s crime feature Tatort - Wofür es sich zu leben lohnt and composed the music for Tempel (director: Philipp Leinemann), a signature mini-series for the digital TV channel ZDFneo, dealing with the subject of gentrification in Berlin. His most recent scores include the music for the medical drama series Doktor Ballouz and Aelrun Goette’s feature film In einem Land, das es nicht mehr gibt.
