David Buckley

David Buckley burst onto the scene with the hit thrillers Trespass and Ben Affleck's The Town, which was co-scored with Harry Gregson-Williams. His scores can be heard in such diverse films as From Paris with Love, In the Land of the Free..., Tell Tale, ATM, Joel Schumacher's Blood Creek, Rob Minkoff's The Forbidden Kingdom, Heitor Dhalia's thriller Gone and Scott Free Productions' mini-series Coma for A&E.

He has contributed additional music for Gone Baby Gone, Shrek the Third, The Number 23, Flushed Away and David O. Russell's Academy Award®-nominated American Hustle. He composed for the Primetime Emmy Award-nominated CBS series The Good Wife, which just completed its seventh season, and the PBS drama Mercy Street from Scott Free Productions.

Buckley's more recent work includes TNT's drama Proof; Warner Bros.' The Nice Guys, which starred Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling; and the Sacha Baron Cohen comedy The Brothers Grimsby for Sony Pictures. Buckley's music can also be heard in two of the biggest video game franchises ever, "Call of Duty: Ghosts" and "Batman: Arkham Knight."

Born in London, Buckley's introduction to film music was as a choirboy on Peter Gabriel's score for The Last Temptation of Christ. He studied and taught music at The University of Cambridge University before moving to Los Angeles, where he joined the team helmed by Harry Gregson-Williams. "What I enjoy most," says Buckley, "is telling stories through the medium of music. It should be intelligent...but written in a language that can be globally understood." Buckley was selected by BAFTA as a "Brit to Watch" in 2011.
