Creamy! says Chris Beck about his Scarbee C.E.P....

The road to film scoring was a circuitous one for Chris. He spent his adolescence playing bad 80's music in variety of bands. Once in college, Chris briefly flirted with the idea of a professional saxophone playing career, but when he realized how much practicing was involved he readily gave it up in favor of his new dream: writing the next big Broadway musical. He composed 2 full-length musicals with his brother Jason (currently a techno/hip-hop recording artist and producer living in Berlin), as well as an opera based on The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.

Upon graduation, he defected to Los Angeles, (much to the chagrin of his fellow Canadians), in order to spend a year at USC's scoring program, where he studied with Jerry Goldsmith.

Chris was immediately attracted to the creative challenges unique to the marriage of music and picture. The opportunities not only for artistic expression but also for exposure to large numbers of people were irresistible to Chris (not to mention simply unavailable in a career composing operas). Chris found his niche.
