John Debney (born 1956) is an American film, television and video game composer. A protege of both Disney composer Buddy Baker and television composer Mike Post, Debney began his career doing music for rides at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. After leaving Disney, Debney went into television (scoring for shows as diverse as ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' to much of the [[Hanna -Barbera]] output). While serving as a composer for Hanna-Barbera, he did his first film ''[[Jetsons the Movie]]''. He went into film full-time after [[James Horner]] recommended him to score ''[[Hocus Pocus]]'' three years later and got his big break when he replaced [[David Arnold]] on 1995's ''[[Cutthroat Island]]''.
 
Steadily working since then, he has tackled multiple genres and is known to adapt to any style given to him. He also mentored director [[Robert Rodriguez]] on scoring and has collaborated with him on a few scores. Debney has received an Oscar nomination for ''[[The Passion of the Christ]]'' and won three Emmys, for ''The Cape'' (not [[The Cape|this one]]), ''[[Sea Quest DSV]]'' and ''[[The Young Riders]]''.
