Luis Resto is a consummate musician. Grammy® award winning producer (Producer of the Year 1995) Don Was had this to say about him. "Luis Resto is a genius. I've never met a musician with such an endless flow of creative ideas and the uncanny ability to instantly internalize and apply any style of music placed in front of him. He has worked on almost every record I've ever made -- from the Rolling Stones to Bonnie Raitt and his contribution has been invaluable. But I beg you to keep that information just between us...if Luis ever finds out how great he really is, I'll have to start paying him." Resto has worked with everyone from k.d. lang to Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra, The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Patti Smith, Anita Baker, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Highwaymen, Iggy Pop, Was (Not Was) and the list goes on. He has also been involved in ad music for years. His music has been used in EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY (1988), 8 MILE (2002), TUPAC: RESURRECTION and CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE (both 2003), THE LONGEST YARD and FANTASTIC FOUR (both 2005), and ALPHA DOG (2006). Resto composed the lounge music for BLOOD, GUTS, BULLETS AND OCTANE (1998).  Best Achievement in Music (Song) 2002: "Lose Yourself" Music (w. Eminem and Jeff Bass) from 8 MILE 1 nomination, 1 Award
