David Glen Russell is an award-winning, classically trained composer of dynamic scores for film, television, and interactive media. He began his musical journey as a classical guitarist but quickly found his passion in writing music. His skills have allowed him to work alongside such composers as DANNY ELFMAN, CHRISTOPHER YOUNG, KEVIN KINER, SHIRLEY WALKER, MICHAEL BROOK, CLINT MANSELL and GUSTAVO SANTOALALLA.

He began his episodic television work scoring the superhero series BLACK SCORPION, the first television series ever produced by the legendary ROGER CORMAN. He also scored the series CHASING FARRAH and the special WILLIAM SHATNER IN CONCERT (which also featured Ben Folds and Brad Paisley) for TV Land. He composed music for FARRAH’S STORY, the Emmy-nominated NBC special documenting Farrah Fawcett’s battle with cancer.

Most recently, David has been spending time in the Star Wars universe, working with Kevin Kiner providing additional music for the Star Wars series AHSOKA, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, STAR WARS REBELS and STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH. Considering that the score of Star Wars: A New Hope was the first album David ever owned, he is thrilled and humbled to be alongside John Williams as one of a select few who have contributed over 15.5 hours of music to the Star Wars canon. David has received acclaim for his work in this echelon, particularly for intense action such as battle and chase scenes. theforce.net review of the Clone Wars soundtrack claimed David’s cue Maul and Savage Duel Palpatine is "hands down one of the greatest Star Wars tracks of all time” and "the gem of this album”.

While he excels in sweeping, dynamic works, his love of more pensive and delicate music is evident in many of his original scores. David feels that the powerful nature of music, while transformative to picture, can maintain a classical orchestral feel, whether utilized in a video game, a horror film, action animation, or a historical drama.

And it is true, Spider-Man really did save his life…
