 Graham Ward - Composer, songwriter, musician, producer (Download Bio/Credits) Graham began his musical career at the age of 5 five amongst professional musicians as a drummer in his father's mainstream jazz ensemble. By age seven he was recognized by the music community as a child prodigy. By the age of twelve he had recorded his first album and become a member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, touring the world. Later that same year he was also cast to play drums in the motion picture "Bugsy Malone" directed by Alan Parker. In his rapid rise he had, by the age of sixteen, recorded four albums, appeared in numerous TV shows including two Royal command performances for the Queen, and was interviewed by countless newspapers and magazines for feature articles (such as the London Sunday Times magazine "Lifespan" feature). Turned fully professional at the age of sixteen, Graham has been sought after for recording / live work with the top artists of the world. Over the span of his career he has worked with Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Jon Anderson, Donna Summer, Mark Knopfler, Ray Charles, Dionne Warwick, Christopher Cross, Bee Gees, Lulu, Toni Braxton, The Supremes, Paul Young, Haircut 100, Nick Heyward, Judy Collins, Ben E. King, Johhny Mathis and the Adventurers, and John 5 to name just some of the many. Graham has also been privileged to work with such classical artists as José Carreras, Placido Domingo, Kiri Te Kanawa, Sarah Brightman, Michael Crawford and Elaine Page. He has also performed and recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, London Chamber Orchestra, the London Philharmonia and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. By the age of twenty-five, Graham had already toured all the world's continents more than once and recorded more than 80 albums. He performed as the original drummer in the first London production of "Cats" at age nineteen and then worked for the former members of ABBA, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus in the musical "Chess" as well as becoming part of their English Rhythm section for other projects. Other shows include "Kiss of the Spiderwoman", "Metropolis", "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Song and Dance" and "Hair". His studio work has also spanned all aspects of the industry such as motion picture sound tracks and hundreds of jingles and media sessions. In 1996 Tom Jones offered Graham a contract and green card sponsorship resulting in his relocation to Los Angeles. Graham left the Tom Jones touring gig in 2002 and is now in LA solely to focus energy and time into the writing and producing of music from his own studio/ music production company, Synchronicity-Music Inc. He also still plays sessions for many clients in LA. Graham's work as a composer/producer is now represented by ICM in Los Angeles.
