Justin Crosby

Composer

Joining Caroline Records recording artists Drop Nineteens as their lead guitarist, Justin Crosby's journey into the music industry began in the spring of 1993. The "Nineteens" were one of a few US-based bands who styled themselves on England's distinctive shoegazer sound. The band would ultimately lead the UK Indie Album and Singles charts with formal releases after signing to Caroline Records, (label home to "Smashing Pumpkins", "Hole", "White Zombie", and countless other trend setting artists of their day.) They lead several European and domestic tours with 43 performances, both domestic and abroad. They were featured as "Blur's" supporting act on a 2 week US tour, shared the stage with "Radiohead", "Flaming Lips" and "Mazzy Star" at England's Reading Festival, and headlined Lollapalooza's second stage at Waterloo in 1993. From his days as a touring musician, Crosby can now be found composing music and producing custom sound design for television, trailers, short films, & mobile games. His music can be heard in prime time TV hits on most major networks ranging from HBO & Showtime, to ABC, NBC, & CBS, to CNN, & BBC, & Channel 4 UK. Crosby is credited as the percussion programmer for the late Daniel Licht's brilliantly eerie score of "Silent Hill 8: Downpour", (Konami), and, worked with Licht to compose signature percussion beds for the 2000's era smash hit, "Dexter" (Showtime). Some of his television music credits range from "Power" (Starz), "The Daily Show", & "Daily Social Distancing Show" (Comedy Central), "Black-ish" (ABC), "Ink Master" (Paramount), "Castle" (ABC), "Do No Harm" (NBC), & "Deception" (NBC), to NFL, NCAA, UFC, & WWE. Trailers, custom TV marketing campaigns, & sound design range from "House of the Dragon" Season 1 & "Raised by Wolves" (HBO), to "Jurassic World Dominion", "Nightmare Alley", "The Tragedy of Macbeth", "Pearl", "Barbarian", & "Don't Breathe 2".

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
