He is also the composer/music supervisor behind BET's groundbreaking dramatic webseries "Buppies" and has been recognized by ASCAP's (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) Composer's Spotlight for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Raised in Washington, D.C., Gunn's musical roots stem from his participation the city's vibrant Go-Go music scene. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Gunn began his professional career as a teenager, producing and arranging under Grammy-winning music producer Mahogany who pioneered sounds for top urban artists such as Jay Z, M.O.P. and Dr Dre. After graduating from Howard University in 2003, Gunn moved to New York City where he spent several years working alongside music legend, Nona Hendryx (Labelle), building an indie alternative record & publishing company backed by UK-based investment banker/entrepreneur Bobby Banks. The experience proved to be viable as he was exposed to a myriad of musicians, which led him into further musical experimentation and collaboration. During this process he continued to make a name for himself as a rising producing talent, creating original music for Rick Yune's action feature "The Fifth Commandment," and adding additional instrumentation to the Divinci Code documentary, "Secrets of the Code." In 2008 Gunn released the five song EP, Era Sick, under the alter-ego persona Rick Lucy, which was partially funded by The Eclipse Gum/Amie Street Visionary Grant and was met with tens of thousands of downloads. The EP serves as a prologue to his debut full-length album "Destroying Beauty" (2010), which has already received coveted raves from The Source Magazine and digital music retailer Amie Street. A variety of handpicked writers and vocalists underscore the album. Gunn has also recently completed the music for the animated musical film "Lonely Loves Lonely". In 2010, Gunn's talents were introduced to the contemporary art world when he was commissioned alongside legendary U.K. band U.N.K.L.E. to compose music for Simon Birch's "Hope & Glory: A Conceptual Circus." Exhibited at Hong Kong's historic ArtisTree, the multimedia installation was the largest in Hong Kong's history.
