David Arnold is best known as the composer of several recent James Bond films including the 2008 film Quantum of Solace. He is a Grammy and Emmy winner. He was born Jan. 23, 1962 in Luton, England. He learned scoring by volunteering to score student films at the National Film and Television School. Danny Cannon was one of those students. Arnold scored Cannon's 1993 debut feature Young Americans. He produced the Bjork hit single Play Dead. Arnold went to Los Angeles and scored the 1994 film Stargate for director Roland Emmerich. He went on to score Emmerich's films Independence Day and Godzilla. So that got him established. He released the 1997 album Shaken and Stirred: The David Arnold James Bond Project. This was an album of James Bond covers by pop artists like David McAlmont and Propellerheads. The album did well in England and veteran James Bond composer John Barry liked the album. He recommended Arnold to Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and Arnold was hired to score the 1997 film Tomorrow Never Dies. Arnold has scored five Bond films including Quantim of Solace in 2008. He did not score the 2012 film Skyfall. The director of that film Sam Mendes preferred his favorite composer Thomas Newman. Besides at the time Arnold was working with Danny Boyle on the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics. The next Bond film No Time To Die will be scored by Hans Zimmer. Arnold won an Emmy for his music from the BBC series Sherlock. And he won a Grammy for Independence Day. His most recent work is the Amazon BBC series Good Omens created by Neil Gaiman. He also composed the Score for the 2019 remake of Shaft. Here's a video for Target Terminated from the 2008 film Quantum of Solace.
