Early Life
He started writing music as a teenager in a band in Westminster, California. Music came relatively late in his life.He didn’t play an instrument until he was nearly 16, but he got bit by the bug right away and within the year he was playing guitar in bands and writing gratuitously long instrumental sections.[8]
He never liked the constraints of songwriting. He looked to longer forms of music or things that could evolve more, or be more outside the box. That led him to media like film or games.
Seeing Willy Wonka as a child was his first realization that writing music for a movie was a job and that someone somewhere had to be doing it.[8]
He went to Berklee College of Music in Boston on scholarship in 1992 with two majors in Film Scoring and Music Production & Engineering.[7]
Trivia
- The first video game he played was Adventure on Atari 2600.[7]
