 Liverpool born John Murphy began scoring movies at the age of 25. In 2001, following the success of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch, he moved to Los Angeles. Since then he has worked with some of the industry’s most respected and luminary filmmakers, including Danny Boyle, Guy Ritchie, Stephen Frears, Matthew Vaughn, and Michael Mann, producing film scores as prominent and diverse as Sunshine, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Miami Vice, Snatch, Kick-Ass, and the seminal 28 Days Later. After Kick-Ass, Murphy set up the record label Taped Noise and began work on several non-movie projects. |

 Composer David Schwartz has been nominated for 3 Primetime Emmys® for his work on Arrested Development, Deadwood, and Wolf Lake, plus a Grammy® nomination for his work on Northern Exposure. He has also received 5 BMI Awards for his work in television music. Schwartz, who grew up in New York, has been playing music across genres most of his life. He studied at the School of Visual Arts (NY), and Berklee College of Music, and during college he played bass in a wide variety of orchestras, ensembles, and bands. He quickly began engineering and producing music – and his quirky, multi-instrumental, and song-oriented background prepared him perfectly for his first big writing assignment when he landed Northern Exposure. |
