Gary Gunn is an American producer and composer who has scored and created original music for award-winning film and television projects, including 2009 Sundance Official Selection, "The Young and Evil," and Showtime's Emmy-nominated "Sleeper Cell" series. He is also the musical force behind BET’s groundbreaking dramatic web series “Buppies” and has been recognized by ASCAP's (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) Composers Spotlight for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

Raised in Washington, D.C., Gunn's musical roots stem from his participation in the city's vibrant Go-Go music scene. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Gunn began his career as a teenager, producing and arranging under Grammy-winning music producer Mahogany who pioneered sounds for top urban artists such as Jay Z, M.O.P. and Dr Dre.

After leaving D.C., Gunn spent several years in New York City building an indie alternative label (Rhythmbank) alongside industry legends Nona Hendryx (Labelle) & Vicki Wickham (Dusty Springfield). During this process he was exposed to a myriad of musicians, which led him into further musical experimentation and collaboration.

In 2008 Gunn released the five-song EP, “Era Sick”, under the alter-ego persona Rick Lucy. The EP served as a prologue to his debut full length “Destroying Beauty” (2010), which has already received coveted raves from The Source Magazine and digital music retailer Amie Street. A variety of handpicked writers and vocalists underscore the album.
