Biography

Composer of the Emmy-winning show Dexter (2006) and hugely popular video games, Silent Hill and Dishonored, one of Daniel Licht's first experiences as a musician resulted in him hanging out with Miles Davis and playing jazz with Don Cherry in New York City. Licht continued to develop as a musician by playing around the world. In Germany, Holland, and Northern Europe he performed and composed music for theatre and dance companies, then Licht went on to Japan and Indonesia where he participated in Gamelan orchestras on the islands of Java and Bali. These travels broadened Licht's definition of music. You may be surprised to know that knives, duct tape, wine glasses, saws, scissors, and even human bones (!) have been used as instruments and recorded at his studio. It was his good friend and colleague, composer Christopher Young, (Spider-Man 3 (2007)), who beckoned Licht west. Once in Hollywood, Licht began collaborating with directors and producers on a variety of projects such as Stephen Kings thriller Thinner (1996), Ben Stiller's drama Permanent Midnight (1998) and the Bradley Cooper comedy Kitchen Confidential (2005).

His irreverent combinations of musical styles soon earned him a reputation as a wholly original composer and he became the favorite of iconoclastic film-makers. He was asked to score The Winner (1996) for Indie icon Alex Cox, while Sundance Film Festival darling Gregg Araki hired him for Splendor (1999) and Oscar-winner Xavier Koller asked Licht to score Cowboy Up (2001). Clive Barker handpicked Licht to score Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996), and ABC selected Licht to compose music for their sleeper hit Body of Proof (2011). NBC requested Licht to score Deception (2013) and contribute additional music for their hit action-thriller The Blacklist (2013).

Most recently Licht completed two seasons for SundanceTV of their dramatic series The Red Road (2014), starring Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones (2011)) and Martin Henderson (The Ring (2002)). He has recently finished the much anticipated video game Dishonored 2 (2016) and the exciting new series Guilt (2016) for ABC Freeform.
