Éric Serra (born on September 9, 1959) is a French composer. He has often worked on the movies of Luc Besson.

Eric Serra’s father, Claude, was a famous French song writer in the ’50s and ’60s, and, as such, Eric was exposed to music and its production at a young age. His mother died when he was just seven years of age. In the early 80s, Serra met director Luc Besson and was asked to score his first movie ‘L’Avant dernier combat’ (1981). Serra has scored every single one of Bessons directed movies to date, including “The Fifth Element” and several that Besson has written, such as Wasabi.
