b. 27 February 1962, Luton, Bedfordshire, England. The composer and producer David Arnold his best known for his work on the soundtracks for contemporary James Bond movies. His career has been boosted by his friendship with the film director Danny Cannon. The two were contemporaries at the UK's National Film School where Arnold scored many student projects, and gained experience in the entire film-making process as well as in sound-mixing. The duo's breakthrough transpired when Cannon's student short projects gained him the director's chair for 1993's The Young Americans. Arnold wrote the score to that movie from which "Play Dead", sung by Bj”rk, entered the UK Top 20. The Young Americans soundtrack earned Arnold the opportunity to score music for Roland Emmerich's science fiction epic Stargate. With his Hollywood credentials now established, Arnold went on to provide the soundtracks for Last Of The Dogmen (1995), Independence Day (1996), the theme for the television series The Visitor, the movie A Life Less Ordinary (1997), and the James Bond feature, Tomorrow Never Dies. The soundtrack for the latter was widely praised with the k.d. lang co-composition, "Surrender", receiving the most attention.
