Philip Marshall is a native Southern Californian and is the son of Jack Marshall (a prolific music composer for such television series “The Munsters,” “Laredo,” “Wagon Train” and many Tammy and Elvis movies). Philip attended the University of Irvine, majoring in Research Psychology and Music Composition. While at UCI, he wrote music for many acclaimed television commercials with companies such as IBM, Mattel, Yamaha, Xerox, Carl’s Jr, Subaru, Mazda and others. Philip was classically trained by the renowned Dr. Albert Harris and continues to orchestrate and conduct his own works.

In 1986, French director Lazlo Papas came to America looking for a talented music student to compose music for his short film End of the Rainbow. Respected for his symphonic work, Philip was highly recommended to score this unique art film that won awards at eight film festivals worldwide, including Best Film Score in Chicago. This led his career towards feature films and television.

Philip has been a very prolific composer in his own right. His feature film credits range from the Oscar winning Twin Towers to Endless Summer II, Trial and Error, Always, and Nell, to a six-film collaboration with composer Angelo Badalamenti on A Very Long Engagement, and psychological thrillers Arlington Road, Secretary, Dark Water, and the recent Sony Pictures release Wicker Man starring Nicolas Cage.

On the television side, Philip has scored over twenty films for Disney Channel, three films for the Family Channel, American Daughter and Oklahoma City for Lifetime, and the top rated legal drama Law & Order: Crime and Punishment for producer Dick Wolf. Philip’s talents don’t just lie in the film composing ranks. He was awarded a producing Grammy for BB King’s gold record Deuces Wild and wrote a Guitar Concerto for Classical guitarist Christopher Parkening.

When he’s not composing or playing guitar, Philip can be found participating in extreme sport competitions. He is a two time national Sailing Champion and competed professionally on surfing and windsurfing tours. And avid runner, he also enjoys golf, skiing, and mountain biking.
