Kristopher Bowers (born 1989) is an American composer and pianist who has composed scores for film and television, including Dear White People and Kobe Bryant's Muse. He has worked with José James, Marcus Miller, and Kanye West. He won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition in 2011 and a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition in 2017 for The Snowy Day. His first film composition was for the 2013 documentary Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me. Two years later Bowers' work on the 2015 Showtime documentary Kobe Bryant's Muse gained him attention as an up-and-coming composer well-versed in a wide range of compositional styles. In the same year, he scored two other Showtime documentaries: I Am Giant about the football player Victor Cruz and Play It Forward about Tony Gonzalez. He was one of six composers invited to the Sundance Composers Lab in 2015. Bowers also worked on the documentary Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You and the film Little Boxes, as well as the television programs Religion of Sports and Dear White People. Also in 2016, Bowers composed music for the Amazon children's Christmas special, The Snowy Day, based on the 1962 book of the same title by Ezra Jack Keats. It was for this show that Bowers received a Daytime Emmy in 2017. During the same period, basketball player Kobe Bryant approached Bowers about composing music for his post-basketball transition into film and television production. When asked about the choice to create an original piece of music for an advertisement, Bryant said, "I thought it was very important for the brand to have an anthem... that's a Bodyarmor 'Obsession is Natural' track." Bowers wrote the score for the 2018 film Green Book. He was also the piano teacher for the film's star, Mahershala Ali, and was Ali's stand in for some close ups of hands playing.
