Mark Snow

Born 26 August 1946 in Brooklyn, Mark's father was a professional percussionist, his mother a pianist and music teacher. He studied music at Manhattan's High School of Music and Art as well as the Julliard School of Music. With his Julliard roommate Michael Kamen and several others, he formed The New York Rock and Roll Ensemble, which was signed by Atlantic Records; the band's five albums was an interesting blend of rock and classical music. Mark later moved to Los Angeles and began composing for television and films. His first job was composing for an episode of the TV series The Rookies. His score for the TV movie Something About Amelia (1984) earned him the first of eleven Emmy nominations. He won numerous awards for theme to The X-Files. During his career, Mark has scored more than a hundred TV movies, a dozen series, and several feature films.
