Danny Elfman mini-bio: Danny Elfman's musical career began with the creation of Oingo Boingo, originally formed for his brother's directing debut. While continuing to compose eclectic, intelligent rock music for his band, Danny formed a friendship with young director Tim Burton, who was then a fan of Oingo Boingo. Danny went on to score the soundtrack of Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985), Danny's first orchestral film score. The Elfman-Burton partnership continued (most notably through the hugely-successful "Batman" flicks) and opened doors of opportunity for Danny, who has been referred to as "Hollywood's hottest film composer".
