Quotes
[on his inspiration for going into the business] It was John Williams. It was Danny Elfman, especially the score for Edward Scissorhands (1990) had a big impact on me. I remember one of the more modern scores I listened to in high school was the Michael Andrews score for Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005). That was the first time I heard modern synthesizers and production in a score. I listened to it over and over again. But John Williams and Danny Elfman were my main inspirations.
