Biography:
London born composer Nick Glennie-Smith began his musical career when he earned a choral scholarship to New College, Oxford at the age of eight. While singing in the College Choir, one of the finest Anglican choirs in the world, he also studied piano and violin.
After two years study at Trinity College of Music in London he played keyboards in a rock group called “Wally.” From there Glennie-Smith went on to enjoy a successful stint as a session player, recording with a number of pop and rock artists including Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Roger Waters, Roger Daltrey and Phil Collins in the 1980s, before turning to writing jingles and later film music in the early 1990s.
In 1992, Glennie-Smith collaborated with Hans Zimmer and Adam Rifkin of Media Ventures Organization (aka Remote Studios). During his tenure he contributed additional music to a number of successful scores, including "Cool Runnings" (1993, With Zimmer) "Bad Boys" (1994, with Mark Mancina), "Crimson Tide" (1995, with Zimmer), and "Beyond Rangoon" (1995, with Zimmer), before receiving his first top-line credit for his work on the massively successful action movie “The Rock” (1996). Since then, Glennie-Smith has embraced many aspects of the film music spectrum, not only as a composer on films such as "Home Alone 3" (1997), "Fire Down Below" (1997), "Two If By Sea" (1997), "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1998) and "We Were Soldiers" (2002) he has since come back into Zimmer’s fold, having written additional music for “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” (2003), “King Arthur” (2004), “The Da Vinci Code” (2006) “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” (2006) “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”(2007,)
but also as a conductor, orchestrator, synth programmer and choir director. Glennie-Smith's anthemic musical compositions have been the backdrop of such universal and monumental events as the Olympics and funeral procession of late US President Ronald Regan “The Mansions of the Lord” sung by the armed forces chorus with the US Marine Chamber Orchestra.
