Clint Mansell was the lead vocalist and guitarist of the British band Pop Will Eat Itself.
Clint broke into the world of film scoring when his friend, director Darren Aronofsky gave him the opportunity to score his debut film, &pi. Despite critical acclaim, Clint's score went widely unnoticed by both fans and critics of more traditional film composers, such as John Williams and James Horner.
Clint's score for π was followed up by his score for the next Darren Aronofsky film, Requiem for a Dream.
