The highest rated new drama and now airing overseas, Once Upon A Time is a modern- day fairy tale created by Lost writers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis.

The majestic quality of the series coupled by commissioning a leading film composer for the series, lends to further the musical credibility of the production.

His credits also include Crash (Oscar winner for Best Picture), Miracle, A River Runs Through It (Oscar nomination for Best Score), and Nell (Golden Globe nomination for Best Score).

Mark Isham has collaborated with leading Hollywood icons including Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, Brian De Palma, Chick Corea, Jodie Foster, Robert Altman, Sting and Sydney Lumet. As a performer, Isham has the ability to display his talents in a variety of genres. His musical stylings can be heard on releases of music legends’ Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Ziggy Marley, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones and Van Morrison.
