John Debney is considered one of the most prolific and successful composers in Hollywood. He has won three Emmys® and been nominated for seven. He is also an Academy Award® nominee and the youngest recipient of ASCAP’s prestigious Henry Mancini Lifetime Achievement Award.Debney earned his B.A. in Music Composition from California Institute of the Arts in 1979, and after four years immersing himself in the business at Disney Studios, he made a professional entry into the industry, working with Steven Spielberg and Mike Post on shows such as Star Trek: The Next Generation, Tiny Tunes, and Sea Quest DSV. Debney continued his hands-on training, working with Hanna-Barbera composer Hoyt Curtin.Debney’s first big film break came in 1997 with an offer to work on Liar Liar with director Tom Shadyac. With the success of this blockbuster comedy under his belt, Debney went on to work on a variety of different major films, including Elf, Iron Man 2, Spy Kids (1 &amp; 2), and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Debney and Shadyac continued to collaborate, going on to do Bruce Almighty in 2003 and the spinoff Evan Almighty together. In 2005, Debney formed a successful partnership with director Robert Rodriguez, creating scores for his movies Sin City and Machete.Although Debney was widely known within the industry as a versatile and talented composer, the world wouldn’t discover him until he composed the landmark score for Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. Enticed by the idea of working on a project that held deep, spiritual meaning for him, Debney’s score, which blended symphonic orchestra, a wide range of world instruments, and the beauty of the human voice, connected on an emotional level with viewers and listeners, and rose to #1 on Billboard’s charts for Soundtrack and Christian Albums and #19 on the Billboard Top 200. The record was certified gold by the RIAA and won the Dove Award® for Best Instrumental Album, as well as garnering Debney an Oscar nomination.Shortly after the movie's release, Debney premiered The Passion of the Christ Symphony in Rome, Italy, a highly successful performance featuring an 83-person choir and a 96-piece orchestra, plus solo musicians and guest vocalists from both the film and the classical worlds, which received a 15-minute standing ovation from the audience. In the tradition of classical composers, Debney enjoys conducting his own work and has conducted some of the world’s greatest orchestras.Debney’s most commercially successful work to date is Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau, released in 2016. Favreau and Debney have worked on a variety of films together, including Elf, Zathura, Iron Man 2, and The Jungle Book. Among John Debney’s other most recent works are scores for Draft Day, Stoneheart Asylum, and HISTORY’s Emmy-nominated Hatfields &amp; McCoys, as well as HISTORY’s most recent mini-series Houdini, and A&amp;E mini-series Bonnie &amp; Clyde.
