	Musicians - David Arnold

David Arnold (born in 1962 in Luton in Bedfordshire, England) is one of the most popular and successful young British composers. He is probably best known for the film scores to Stargate (1994), Independence Day (1996) and three James Bond films.

A Bond fan from an early age, in 1997 Arnold produced Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project, an album of new versions of the themes from various James Bond films. The album also featured a variety of contemporary artists including Jarvis Cocker, Chrissie Hynde, k.d. lang and Iggy Pop. This coupled with his success on blockbusters Independence Day and Stargate led to his first real James Bond assignment on Tomorrow Never Dies. He has since scored two other Bond films and is set to compose the score to the next Bond film, Casino Royale, due for release in 2006.

Arnold also composed the theme music for several British TV series', including the 2000 remake of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) (which he did for free as a favour to the producers), Little Britain. In 2001, he also provided a new arrangement of Ron Grainer's Doctor Who theme music for a series of audio dramas from Big Finish Productions. The same year, he composed the music for the film Zoolander.

He has recently completed working with Massive Attack, Natasha Bedingfield and Shirley Manson.

He is the second cousin of Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice.
