MAN: Ennio Morricone


Took up the trumpet as a kiddo. Wrote his first composition at 6.  
Started his career writing background music for radio dramas.  
Then, a buddy from school named Sergio Leone asked Ennio
to compose a few scores for his new "spaghetti western" films.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
