Biography

Russo began his music career as a rock musician. In 2012 he was invited (by his rock-band friends, Wendy & Lisa) to assist in creating the theme music for a planned TV series based on the popular movie Fargo, and he realized how much he enjoyed the process.[1] He currently scores two Peabody Award nominated shows: CBS’s reimagining of the iconic cult classic series Star Trek: Discovery and FX’s Legion, starring Dan Stevens and Aubrey Plaza, as well as Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy starring Elliot Page, Robert Sheehan and Mary J. Blige, based on the popular comic book series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba. He wrote for Noah Hawley’s feature directorial debut from Fox Searchlight, Lucy in the Sky, starring Natalie Portman and Jon Hamm, as well as Altered Carbon, an adaptation of Richard K. Morgan’s sci-fi novel. His film work includes scoring Mark Wahlberg’s action-thriller film Mile 22, Craig Macneill’s Lizzie, starring Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart, which premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, and Jon Avnet’s Three Christs, starring Richard Gere, which premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. [2] His first connection with the Star Trek franchise was his contribution to Star Trek: Discovery.[1]

Russo and his wife, musician Nina Gordon, of the band Veruca Salt, have two children.
