Charismatic American film composer Wilton de Grey was born in the Bavarian city of Bayreuth, Germany, and raised in Judeo-Christian faith in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, as an adoptive child of Margot Winefried Wagner, who lived and worked in Boston as a music teacher and was well connected to the Boston Pops, and a father who was an inventor, electrician and musician. He is of English, German, French and Italian descent.
Wilton was educated in private schools in Munich, Germany and also graduated in Hobart, Indiana USA in 1985. Before that, in 1982 he was inspired by John Williams' film score of the movie E.T, the Extra-Terrestrial, which years later gave him the impulse to start to study music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, but he didn't because his father passed away. During this time, Wilton also pursued an interest in music, playing piano and synths in bands in Boston called 'The Limit' and 'Pure Heart'. Upon leaving Boston in 1987, he returned to Munich to pursue a career as a pop rock artist and formed the band 'The Royal Art' and wrote amazing songs and got his first major record deal with BMG in 1989. He lived in Beaulieu-sur-mer in South France in 1991.
His first indication to become a film composer came after meeting the famous film composer Maurice Jarre in 1993, who attested his talent to compose big Hollywood themes.
Various single releases followed under the pseudonym 'Marty Wynton', including his first official music video called 'Until the End of Time (The Wedding Song)' in 1995, a single from his debut album 'Welcome to the Planet Earth', which he performed with Anita Davis released on ARIS.
After having met Kevin Costner in 2011 and writing some songs for a German documentary in 2014, 'Ich Seh's ganz deutlich! Die Prophezeiungen des Alois Irlmaier', Wilton had been composing more and more orchestral film scores and orchestrating them as well.
His first big gig as an official film composer came with the 3D animated TV Series 'Miss Bellyfoo' in 2020 thru 2022, a unique show for musically talented kids going from the real world into the fantastic animated world of Daba Diba Duba Land.
In January 2022 he composed the orchestral soundtrack for a short film 'A Sunday on the Moon'.
Wilton continues to compose high quality themes and remains on top of his game.- Max von der Grün was born on 25 May 1926 in Bayreuth, Germany.
