Nathan Barr started studying music in Tokyo, Japan at the age of 4. His interest in music and collecting rare and unusual instruments lead him to travel all over the world. He has said he owns a trumpet made out of a human femur and a set of bagpipes out of a pig's belly. Barr studied at Skidmore College and in 1993 tour Italy and Switzerland with the Juilliard Cello Ensemble.
In 1996, Barr moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in composing film and television scores. One of his first jobs was working under the tutelage of world-renowned composer, Hans Zimmer, on films such as "As Good As It Gets" and "The Prince of Egypt". Shortly thereafter he branched out on his own and landed his first solo-venture on the Lionsgate comedy "Too Smooth". Since then, Barr has scored a large array of feature films and TV series, most notably scoring all episodes of HBO's hit series "True Blood".
