name: Michael Richard Plowman
notes: 'For the past 25 years, composer Michael Richard Plowman has been composing
  award winning and internationally recognized music, touching audiences in over 120
  countries.

  His passion for creativity began in his birth place of England where he learned
  to play the trumpet at the early age of three. Plowman''s love and talent of music
  quickly grew, as did his aspirations. He began teaching himself different orchestral
  instruments. Over the course of his school years, Plowman was a member of jazz and
  rock groups, playing gigs at local clubs, and at 14 landed his first commercial
  television job. At 16 he received a recording contract and produced his first album,
  "The Now Sounds of Today"

  Plowman continued his musical training at universities in both Canada and the United
  States. He began conducting and touring worldwide with various orchestras and choirs,
  then moved into theatre, composing and conducting dozens of plays.

  Composing for film, television and games has always been his ambition. He works
  with many of the major players in the industry world wide; including Sony Pictures
  Television, BBC, Cartoon Network, WB, 20th Century Fox, New Line Cinema, MTV, Nickelodeon,
  A&E, Discovery, Animal Planet & Stephen King.

  "Working in film, television and games has given me the opportunity to explore many
  new musical styles and techniques," says Plowman. "Every production is unique and
  providing an original score is essential."

  With over 500 credits to date in live-action, animation, film and games. Plowman
  continues to create symphonic adventures in his own style for the absolute entertainment
  experience.'
