About Adam Berry

Adam Berry is a 2x GRAMMY® and 2x Emmy award-winning composer, songwriter and producer who has scored over 600 episodes of television and 16 feature films and has produced two #1 Billboard chart-topping albums.

Adam's career began in 1997 when he was asked to write a demo for a new Comedy Central series, 'South Park.' His demo secured him the job, and his guitar and mandolin music became the signature sound of the show. Adam scored the first four seasons and played bass guitar in Matt Stone and Trey Parker's punk band.

In 1998 Adam began working for Disney, composing scores for six series and three movies, including one of Disney's most popular and longest-running shows, 'Kim Possible.' A song from the show, 'Naked Mole Rap,' which was a collaboration between Adam and the show's creators, hit the Top 10 on Radio Disney. Adam received his first Emmy nomination for his 'Kim Possible' music underscore.

Adam returned to Comedy Central to write music for 'The Sarah Silverman Program.' In addition to writing the underscore, Adam worked with Sarah and the cast, recording and producing the songs for the third season, and lending his vocals to a few of the tracks as well. The program's score and songs were released on the soundtrack CD 'Songs in the Key of Yuck.' Adam's collaboration with Sarah Silverman continued with her NBC pilot, several YouTube videos, including her Black Pencil Award-winning 'The Great Schlep' video, and her Emmy-winning HBO comedy special, 'We Are Miracles.'

In 2008 Adam began work on Dreamworks / Nickelodeon's 'Penguins of Madagascar,' writing the main title theme, the underscore and co-writing and producing over 30 original songs. Over the next four years Adam was nominated for eight Emmy awards and two Annie awards for his work on the show. He won an Emmy in 2011 for Outstanding Achievement in Musical Direction and Composition and again the following year for Outstanding Original Song. The show also won a BAFTA award in the International category, judges calling it '...exemplary in its technical aspects, storytelling, pacing, dialogue, musical score.'

Adam collaborated with Dreamworks and Nickelodeon again writing the main title and underscore for the show, 'Monsters vs. Aliens.'

In 2014 Adam scored the award-winning indie thriller 'Blood Punch,' using a string quartet recorded in Los Angeles to highlight both the tense, claustrophobic atmosphere and the macabre humor of the film. The result is an emotional, intimate, darkly comedic score that one critic called, 'freakin' fantastic.'

Adam's next project was the stunning Emmy-award winning Amazon series, 'Lost in Oz,' a retelling of the Wizard of Oz. The series is currently streaming on Amazon and playing on broadcast television in over 100 countries.

Adam also scored the Disney series 'Big Hero 6'. His work on the 3-season, 56 episode series included writing the Main Title theme, the End Credit and the underscore, and co-writing and producing over 50 original songs. He was nominated for an Emmy award (his 10th nomination) in the category of Outstanding Original Song for the Broadway-inspired 11 o'clock number 'Gonna Go Good.'

Recently Adam scored the film 'Double Down South,' the latest from Academy Award winning writer and director Tom Schulman (Dead Poet’s Society, What About Bob). Double Down South is a shadowy confidence game thriller set in the South, and Adam’s moody, bluegrass-infused score both highlights the film's swampy location and the tense, engrossing story.

Adam is a member of the band White Sun and has produced several of their albums. Their second album, 'White Sun II,' won a GRAMMY® for Best New Age album, hit #1 on the Billboard New Age Music chart, and #2 on the Billboard World Music chart. Their following album, White Sun III, also hit #1 on the Billboard New Age chart. Their latest album, 'Mystic Mirror,' won a GRAMMY in the category of Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album. Since its release on September 23, 2022, Mystic Mirror has hit #1 on the iTunes Worldwide chart in five countries, including the US. In addition to Mystic Mirror, in 2022 White Sun had 15 singles hit #1 on iTunes Worldwide, New Age and Overall charts in 21 countries.
