Eric Serra (1959- )
Eric Serra's father Claude was a famous French song writer in the '50s and '60s, and, as such, Eric was exposed to music and its production at a young age. His mother died when he was just seven years of age. In the early '80s Serra met director Luc Besson and was asked to scored his first movie 'L'Avant dernier' (1981). Serra has scored every single one of Bessons directed movies to date and several that Besson has written such as Wasabi.

In 1995, Eric Serra was chosen to compose the score to the James Bond film GoldenEye, which was quite an avant-garde soundtrack compared to previous Bond films, and it met with mixed opinions from film critics.

Eric Serra is also a songwriter, most notably previously having written songs for Le Grand Bleu (The Big Blue) (a song titled 'my lady blue') and Léon (Titled 'Hey Little Angel', however this was unused in the actual film, save a few minor instrumentals. It was to be used in the final scene/credits but was replaced by the less lyrically appropriate 'Shape of my Heart' by Sting) as well as several other movies. In 1998, Eric Serra finally released an album of rock music titled RXRA.
