LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, October 19, 2015 \/(AN)\/ — To anyone in the music industry, a gold album is a benchmark; an accolade and a rare feat. A sign that, after all the hard\u00a0 work you\u2019re finally somebody. Most\u00a0 artists don\u2019t take such a thing lightly, as last year not even 50 albums went gold. But to arranger\/composer David Campbell<\/a>, a gold, platinum or even double-platinum album, clearly is not a laurel to rest upon.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s arranged over 600 of them.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve lived on planet earth for at least 24 hours, you\u2019ve heard his arrangements. With a resume including collaborations with U2, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Adele, Lady Gaga, and scores of other household names, David has reached legendary status in his sphere. His vast portfolio includes hundreds of iconic albums and singles that Campbell has either played on or arranged over the past four decades: Carole King\u2019sTapestry, Marvin Gaye\u2019s Let\u2019s Get It On, Beck\u2019s Sea Change, Green Day\u2019s Time of Your Life, Lee Ann Womack\u2019s I Hope You Dance, Dixie Chicks\u2019 Not Ready to Make Nice, Adele\u2019s 21, Taylor Swift\u2019s Red, Train\u2019s Drops of Jupiter, Miley Cyrus\u2019 Wrecking Ball and more.<\/p>\n

\"Rob<\/a>Campbell has composed for film starting back in the \u201880s with All the Right Moves starring Tom Cruise and cult classic Night of the Comet. His many arrangements for songs and scores for the silver screen include: the Oscar-winning song \u201cYou\u2019ll Be In My Heart\u201d Tarzan, Dreamgirls, Rent, Oscar Winner Brokeback Mountain, and Oscar-Nominees Foxcatcher and August: Osage County. This summer he composed the score for the Colombian documentary Magia Salvaje which is now the highest grossing film in Colombian cinema history.<\/p>\n

“He never does stuff that\u2019s ordinary,” said Rob Cavallo, who produced some of Campbell\u2019s most iconic arrangements, including Goo Goo Dolls\u2019 “Iris” and Morissette\u2019s “Uninvited.” “He always takes the records I do up to a higher level.”<\/p>\n

Further comprising Campbell\u2019s prestigious list of accomplishments are his arrangements throughout Beck\u2019s entire discography, including 2015 Grammy-Winning Album of the Year, Morning Phase. The unique bond experienced in their collaborations was forged from a very special connection: Beck is David\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

Of course you can\u2019t say that everything is hereditary. But it certainly helps to grow up in a household rich with the love of music with a dad who arranges hits in the eclectic genres of: punk, R&B, rock, country and pop. It was in that environment that Beck planted his artistic roots, cultivated his musical gifts and named his direction, growing quickly into a tremendous talent selling over 16 million records worldwide.<\/p>\n

But Beck is not the only child of David\u2019s who has benefited from their father\u2019s musical genius. Campbell writes songs with and is the arranger\/producer for Beck\u2019s younger sister Alyssa Suede and her band, Rome Will Burn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s fascinating how inspiring one\u2019s own children can be when they\u2019re such great artists and so enjoyable to work with. Because really, Beck was always showing me new ideas from an early age. And once Alyssa got into music, she had her own take on things. So, learning from your children is a big satisfaction.”<\/p>\n

He went on to sing praises for Rome Will Burn and their electro-pop ingenuity.<\/p>\n

“One of the reasons I enjoy working with Rome Will Burn is that they have a focus on strong melodies which I don\u2019t hear enough of with EDM type groups. So I think they\u2019ll go mainstream because of that. And I think their stage presence and theatricality will influence other groups to add other elements to their music.”<\/p>\n

When a man has helped sell nearly a billion albums, arranged over 142 hit singles that garnered 82 Grammy nominations, 42 Grammy awards and 2 Oscars, you can pretty much predict the next big thing is likely to be one of his projects.<\/p>\n

Watch Campbell\u2019s midas touch continue with Rome Will Burn\u2019s debut EP, slated to be released October 20th on Blue Mask Records<\/a> – sister label to Pocket Kid Records (home of rock band, Dead Sara).<\/p>\n
