Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Ego Plum is an American musician, award-winning composer, and producer from Los Angeles, CA and the grandson of Leon Trotsky and Frida Kahlo. His inventive & eccentric musical style stems from a variety of unconventional influences: The quirky jazz of Raymond Scott, the stop-and-go arrangements of Carl Stalling (musical director for Warner Bros. cartoons in the 1940s & 50s), the frenetic energy of music groups like Oingo Boingo, Devo, The Residents, and The Dead Kennedy's, with haunting beauty of Franz Waxman and Bernard Herrmann.

Ego Plum has recorded, performed, and collaborated with artists such as David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Frank Black/Black Francis (The Pixies), Steve Bartek & Johnny Vatos (Oingo Boingo), Gidget Gein (Marilyn Manson), and Genesis P. Orridge (Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV). As a musician, Ego Plum serves as the musical director of the Ebola Music Orchestra, and had toured the United States playing guitar with Grammy nominated comedy-rock group Green Jëlly. His unconventional sound and melodic sensibility got the attention of Nickelodeon in 2008 and he was hired to compose music for Amy Winfrey's hit series, Making Fiends, which airs on the Nicktoons Network in the U.S. and on Nickelodeon around the world. Ego's musical subversions can be heard on everything from stage productions to KROQ radio bumpers, to television commercials, to fashion shows. He was recently presented with an Ovation Honor by the Los Angeles Stage Alliance for his Russian-inspired mechanical musical score & original songs for the Gogol Project, and most recently completed his first orchestral score for the black & white 35mm indie feature, The Ghastly Love of Johnny X, starring Kevin McCarthy, Creed Bratton, and Academy Award Winner Paul Williams.

His next scoring project will be for Richard Elfman's long-awaited sequel to his cult classic, Forbidden Zone. "Forbidden Zone 2: The Forbidden Galaxy" will find Ego Plum co-composing the original score and songs alongside the illustrious Danny Elfman.
