Career
Career
Puro is best known for scoring the drama series The Fosters and Black Summer, as well as several films including The Art of Getting By (2011), starring Freddie Highmore, and Higher Ground (2011), directed by Vera Farmiga. A veteran of the indie film world, he composed the music for the comedy All Nighter (2017), starring Emile Hirsch and J.K. Simmons, and A Happening of Monumental Proportions (2017), Judy Greer's directorial debut. In 1996, Puro formed the rock band Deadsy with longtime friend Elijah Blue Allman and Renn Hawkey. The band's style is a synthesis of glam, goth and synth-rock with science fiction. After their first album was released, the band embarked upon several world tours, opening for bands such as Linkin Park and Stone Temple Pilots. During his time with Deadsy, Puro also began composing music for various films and television shows. Since 2007, Puro's film work has been a regular fixture at some of the world's most integral film festivals, from SXSW to Cannes to the Tribeca Film Festival. Puro founded Gramoscope Music in 2006. Some projects they have created music for include the new theme for Real Time with Bill Maher, American Horror Story, So You Think You Can Dance, Running Wild with Bear Grylls, Wicked Tuna, Glee, and Burn Notice.
