Biography

Scottish producer Craig Armstrong scored countless soundtracks to much acclaim during the '90s and into the 2000s. His soundtrack work was, in fact, so successful that many big-name artists, such as U2 and Madonna, began courting him, while he simultaneously pursued a solo career as a downtempo electronica producer beginning with The Space Between Us in 1998. Though his collaborations are too numerous to list, Armstrong's most successfully paired with film director Baz Luhrman, producing big-selling soundtracks for [roviLink="MW"]Romeo + Juliet (1998) and [roviLink="MW"]Moulin Rouge (2001), as well as scoring the Ray Charles biopic [roviLink="VW"]Ray (2004). ~ Jason Birchmeier
