	Musicians - Garry Schyman

Garry Schyman is a composer for film, television, and video games. He has composed for Revenge of the Nerds III and IV, as well as the video games Destroy All Humans! and Voyeur.

Schyman realized his affection for music at the age of 12 and was quick to commandeer the family piano, which had originally been a birthday gift for his older brother. By playing and internalizing the great composers from the early 20th century, Schyman's love of music flourished and eventually led him on to graduate from the University of Southern California with a degree in Music Composition. After USC, Schyman studied under the tutelage of the great 12-tone composer and teacher George Tremblay. This exposure would provide Schyman with the foundation on which to base his unique and incredibly successful career in composition.

Among his most famous early scores is his work on cult TV classics such as: THE A-TEAM, MAGNUM PI and THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO. He went on to score one of the most interesting and innovative video games from the early 1990’s, VOYEUR for which his groundbreaking orchestral music received an award for Best Original Game Score.

His successful and lasting partnership with Von Zerneck-Sertner Films on the series of television movies adapted from author Robin Cook’s medical mysteries, along with his many scores for television movies and series ensures Schyman's position within the top ranks of TV composers.

In addition to a long and established career, Schyman continues to write purely for the love of music, including his well-received viola concerto ZINGARO.

Schyman’s recent work includes the critically acclaimed original score to THQ's blockbuster hit, DESTROY ALL HUMANS. Currently, he is working with multiple AAA game development studios on a range of highly anticipated releases, including his just completed score for FULL SPECTRUM WARRIOR – TEN HAMMERS the sequel to the award winning game FULL SPECTRUM WARRIOR, for Pandemic Studios.

Schyman is a long time resident of the Los Angeles area where he lives and works with his wife Lisa and 5-year-old son Ethan.
