Los Angeles, California – Tyler Bates, di wonder musician, don drop gist about im journey wey fit make person laugh and think say ‘who dey write this movie music?’ As a multi-instrumentalist wey don score two major franchises – John Wick and Guardians of the Galaxy – him work don make am shine for every party dem go hold!
Bates talk say e no go ever imagine say e go dey do movie score until dem begin dey sabi am for hin jamz as him band get songs for di 1996 movie soundtrack for The Crow 2 (Since when dem sabi say sequel no dey carry weight?) But after dat one, na everywhere open for Tyler.
“My band drop one song wey dey hot back den, and from there, I begin dey meet people wey want make I score their movies. Di first project wey gree me be Californication. From dere, I meet Marilyn Manson, and na im lead me to score John Wick. Na so e be o!” Bates yarn.
Imagine say na Keanu Reeves dey look your way for collabo, and as dem wan score John Wick, Bates mention say Manson don jam am with di right vibes, drop di song ‘Killing Strangers’ as di main theme. “I no sabi wetin be John Wick, but na so e be.” E shock everybody when Bates confess say na so he find himself inside di meeting wey dey house with all di peeps—Keanu, Manson, and even di directors, Chad Stahelski and David Leitch.
We fit sabi wey di man dey dull, but e don catch fire alongside hot musicians like Evanescence, wey him also co-write di latest jam for ‘Ballerina’. Bates use him musical magic turn soundtracks into international bangers. E touch even modern craze, dey remind us say, ‘If you fit dance for club while gun fight dey happen, no worry, just groove!’ (Talk about resilience o!)
All in all, Bates dey work on him music career with strong passion, even as di industry dey show him new wahala. E talk say di new technology fit make music work too fast, and e fit tire person when deep scores dey miss out for film. But he no carry di workload on im head as he dey follow di flow, collecting gigs left and right.
As we dey hear rumor wey fit carry Mindhunter come back as trilogy, we just dey reason am say maybe Tyler go drop some beat for dat one too, but na David Fincher hand e dey. At di end of di day, Bates go dey do wetin e like, and e no dey regret anything. ‘Life sweet me well well,’ he concluded.
