Boris Elkis was born in Moscow, Russia. Recognized at a very young age
as having exceptional talent, he was one of the few to be accepted into
Moscow's finest Gnesin's Private School of Music for specially gifted
students. He later studied at Moscow's Russian Music Academy. With his
works gathering critical acclaim, Boris became recognized as one of the
most talented young composers of his generation in Russia. In 2001,
Boris was accepted into ASCAP's prestigious Film Scoring Workshop in
Los Angeles.
In 2003, Boris' music was noticed by prominent composer Graeme Revell, who asked him to take on music programming duties. This led to collaboration on a number of projects, including Street Kings, Aeon Flux, and Freddy vs. Jason, as well as the best-selling video game Call of Duty II. Boris' work with Graeme Revell provided him with invaluable experience, field training, and perspective that very few composers are fortunate to receive.
In 2008, Boris scored the David's Twohy (Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick director) film A Perfect Getaway, due in theaters August 7, 2009. This intense phycological thriller required over 70 minutes of orchestral score.
