His impressive career began with training in classical music, and an education from the Berklee College of Music, lending him the ability to direct eighty-piece orchestras for film projects. Highly regarded as a film composer, BT has scored such blockbuster hits as The Fast and The Furious, Under Suspicion, Go and Driven. He is also recognized for producing artists such as *NSYNC and Britney Spears, remixing Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, Korn and Seal, and working with Sting and Peter Gabriel.

About Monster
Monster was written and directed by first-timer Patty Jenkins and produced by Charlize Theron, Mark Damon, Clark Peterson, Donald Kushner and Brad Wyman. The film is based upon the true story of Aileen Wuornos, who was convicted of the murders of seven men in Florida, and executed in 2002 after 12 years on death row. Jenkins unearths a love story in the midst of the horrors and pathologies of two misfits: Wuornos, a prostitute deemed by the media as the first "female serial-killer" -- a monster -- and Selby Ward (Ricci), who was sent by her parents to live with an aunt in Florida in order to "cure her homosexuality." The two meet and fall in love just as Wuornos was nearing suicidal despair. Selby becomes the first person in Wuornos' tragic existence to value her as a human being.
