official site of the composer/ producer biography projects the end

Gary Gunn is a producer and film composer who has scored and created original music for award-winning film and television projects, including 2009 Sundance Official Selection, The Young and Evil (where he was also recognized at ASCAP's Composer's Spotlight ceremony), and Showtime's Emmy-nominated Sleeper Cell series. He is also the composer/music supervisor behind BET's groundbreaking dramatic webseries Buppies (millions of weekly viewers), has scored the animated musical short film Lonely Loves Lonely, and contributed an original music sequence to Rick Yune’s action feature Fifth Commandment. Gunn expanded his foray into the 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, a multi-media installation—exhibited at Hong Kong's historic ArtisTree in 2010 and at Beijing's G Dot Art Space in 2011—the largest in the country's history. In the fall of 2010, he produced music for the Cannes Lions Design award-winning, Six Scents Parfums: Series Three Collection, (carried at luxury retailers throughout the world) including the score for the Making Scents Of Memories documentary and accompanying films, Deflowering Lily by James Widegren, Gunn, and Kaya Sorhaindo, which was on display at the Standard Hotel in Miami during Art Basel 2010, and Untitled, 2010, by visual artist Sue DeBeer, who has permanent collections in the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum For Contemporary Art, and the Brooklyn Museum. Series Three went on to receive the highest honors in its field by winning the 2011 FiFi award for the Indie Fragrance of the Year. Taking notice, Puma commissioned Gunn to create the music that replaced Gnarls Barkley's Moving On in their global ad campaign, Journey of Football, currently airing in professional soccer stadiums worldwide. Raised in Washington, D.C., Gunn's musical roots stem from his participation in 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, Gunn moved to New York City where he spent several years working alongside music legends Nona Hendryx and Vicki Wickham before pioneering his own projects. In 2009, his debut album Destroying Beauty received coveted raves from The Source Magazine and prompted collaborative invitations from the likes of CFDA Incubator fashion designers Dao Yi Chow/Maxwell Osborne, which later resulted in noteworthy performances of the music at Miami's AE District and Hong Kong's ArtisTree art spaces. The concept-driven album based around a fictional character, Rick Lucy, features provocative contributions from various writer-vocalists including Shayfer James, Malene Younglao, and Bridget Barkan—whose been touring the world with Scissor Sisters. Gunn is currently developing an ambitious sound installation, Stic People, scheduled for opening Fall 2011.
