Life
Adam Barrett Berry, who grew up in Los Angeles, learned to play the guitar at the age of six and always wanted to be a studio musician based on his talent, so he already took college-level music courses at California State University, Dominguez Hills and Harbor College during his school days attended and successfully completed. But he contracted tendonitis , a chronic inflammation of the tendons, and had to give up the game. Then he tried his hand at psychology , but he was only interested in how music could affect people from a psychological perspective. And when he started out in economics , all he was interested in was how he would invest money in the music industry. Accordingly, he was drawn back completely to music, where he then concentrated on studying composition at the University of Southern California .
After graduating from USC in 1995, he composed for films by Roger Corman and Andrew Stevens . In 1997 he was engaged by Roger Corman and Andrew Stevens for their series South Park , for which he composed for four years. This gave him the necessary attention to later be hired by Disney for series such as Kim Possible and Hercules .
