Perry La Marca is a composer and orchestrator for film, television, video games and albums.

At age 15, Perry was established as one of the top professional keyboard players in his suburban Los Angeles community. By 18, he worked steadily as an arranger for top L.A. producers and music publishing houses including Freddie Perren’s Perren/Vibes Music. At age 22, he began producing recordings under his own name for various easy-listening radio syndicators. These are still regularly broadcast on Sirius/XM Radio and other radio stations worldwide. He continues to release albums of instrumental music.

Perry’s scoring credits include animated shows for Disney TV such as Big Hero 6—The Series, The Buzz on Maggie, and American Dragon; various horror, comedy and animated features; live action television shows such as The Sarah Silverman Program; arrangements of award-winning songs featured in Nickelodeon’s Penguins of Madagascar; and orchestration for video games including Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3, To Russia with Love and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. In addition, he worked with legendary recording artist Ray Conniff for many years and has also recorded with both the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic. He most recently composed the score to the Gravitas Picture "Samland."

Committed to giving back to his community, Perry serves on the board of directors for the Motion Picture Sound Editors and teaches the Media Scoring courses at "The Beach."
