American composer
His score for the Transformers movie was released 4 months after the movies premier. Fans of the score and the composer, started a petition when there were no news for the soundtrack album, and more than 5000 people signed the on line petition when it was announced that the score will be released. Altough the composer told in interviews that an album was in production, the petition indeed helped to move things forward.
His mother is of Japanese descent.
