Born in Belgium,
Barry grew up in a rich musical environment, due to his father’s position as
one of Europe's senior executives at EMI
Records. He got his degree from the UK, and was thereafter heavily
involved in the music industry, producing some of the biggest artists of the
70's and 80s. He also worked extensively as a songwriter signed to Warners for
seven years, with several hit songs to his credit. This eventually culminated
with an Emmy nomination for his film score on Richard Dreyfus's film “Prisoner
of Honour”.
Barry has composed music for a multitude of prestige clients including
Emirates, Dubai Shopping Festival, Dubai Tourism, Dubai Holdings and many of
the world’s leading multinational brands, in addition to TV themes, film scores
and major orchestral event scores. He is credited with over 50 international
awards for his work in music and is actively involved in bringing copyright
awareness in intellectual property to the region.
Barry is actively involved as an unofficial ambassador working to promote Dubai as a production and
post production centre on behalf of his company BKP and colleagues and other
media companies in the UAE.
