Composer
Film composer best known for his work on films like Donnie Darko, Funny People, and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.
He was previously a member of the jazz band The Greyboy Allstars.
His cover version of the Tears for Fears song Mad World, recorded for the Donnie Darko soundtrack, became the #1 single in the U.K. upon its release.
His song The Dentist was inspired by his learning of his wife's pregnancy while receiving dental work.
