He has been nominated for an [[Emmy Award]] five times for his work on ''[[Star Trek]]'', winning in 2001 for his score for the ''Star Trek: Voyager'' series finale, {{e|Endgame}}.

Chattaway was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and was a member of the band "The Astronotes" while attending high school. He received a scholarship to study composition at West Virginia University of Creative Arts and later attended the Eastman School of Music, the Catholic University and the Institute of Audio Research. Chattaway recalls "''It taught me how to write fast''" about his time in the Navy band in Washington, D.C. during the Vietnam War. (''[[The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine]]'' Vol. 13, p. 32)

Chattaway also composed the music for two of the three ''Missing in Action'' films.
  
   
  +
In 1976 he moved to Manhattan and became staff producer for CBS Records where he worked with artists such as Carly Simon, David Byrne and Maynard Ferguson. For Ferguson's album "Conquistador", he arranged a jazz version of [[Alexander Courage]]'s ''[[Star Trek]]'' theme. Through his collaboration with Gato Barbieri on his album "Caliente", Chattaway was introduced into film scoring. He worked as orchestrator with 85 musicians, the London Philharmonic. In 1979 he and artist Bob James founded Tappan Zee Records but both branched out three years later.
−
In pieces of background signage (such as the ''Voyager'' [[crew manifest]]), there is a listing of Chattaway's name, meaning that in a literal interpretation, there is a [[Jay Chattaway (Starfleet)|Starfleet officer named Jay Chattaway]].

Chattaway composed the music for many well-known action and horror B-movies of the 1980s, including two of the three ''Missing in Action'' films, and {{w|William Lustig}}'s horrors, including ''Maniac'' (1980), ''Vigilante'' (1983, co-starring [[Fred Williamson]]) and ''Maniac Cop'' (1988, with [[Judy Levitt]], [[Erik Holland]] and [[Lee Arnone-Briggs]]). He also scored the action movies ''Invasion U.S.A.'' (1985, with [[Jon De Vries]], [[Richard Lynch]], [[Stephen Markle]], [[Nick Ramus]], and [[Maria Doest]]) and ''Red Scorpion'' (1989). His work on ''Red Scorpion'' gained the attention of the producers of ''The Next Generation'' when they've searched for a composer to fill in for a TNG Season 3 episode. With the help of Paramount's head of music, David Grossman, Chattaway was called in.

Chattaway with Dennis McCarthy

Emmy-winning composer Jay Chattaway (born 8 July 1946; age 77) has written musical scores for numerous episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise.

He has been nominated for an Emmy Award five times for his work on Star Trek, winning in 2001 for his score for the Star Trek: Voyager series finale, "Endgame". In addition, he won (or shared) eight ASCAP Awards for his music, all in the Top TV Series category. His name appeared on a crew manifest in the Voyager episode "Projections". Some of Chattaway's TNG and DS9 scores were released as part of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Collection, Volume One and the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Collection.

Chattaway was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and was a member of the band "The Astronotes" while attending high school. He received a scholarship to study composition at West Virginia University of Creative Arts and later attended the Eastman School of Music, the Catholic University and the Institute of Audio Research. Chattaway recalls "It taught me how to write fast" about his time in the Navy band in Washington, D.C. during the Vietnam War. (The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 13, p. 32)

In 1976 he moved to Manhattan and became staff producer for CBS Records where he worked with artists such as Carly Simon, David Byrne and Maynard Ferguson. For Ferguson's album "Conquistador", he arranged a jazz version of Alexander Courage's Star Trek theme. Through his collaboration with Gato Barbieri on his album "Caliente", Chattaway was introduced into film scoring. He worked as orchestrator with 85 musicians, the London Philharmonic. In 1979 he and artist Bob James founded Tappan Zee Records but both branched out three years later.

Chattaway composed the music for many well-known action and horror B-movies of the 1980s, including two of the three Missing in Action films, and William Lustig's horrors, including Maniac (1980), Vigilante (1983, co-starring Fred Williamson) and Maniac Cop (1988, with Judy Levitt, Erik Holland and Lee Arnone-Briggs). He also scored the action movies Invasion U.S.A. (1985, with Jon De Vries, Richard Lynch, Stephen Markle, Nick Ramus, and Maria Doest) and Red Scorpion (1989). His work on Red Scorpion gained the attention of the producers of The Next Generation when they've searched for a composer to fill in for a TNG Season 3 episode. With the help of Paramount's head of music, David Grossman, Chattaway was called in.
