Jim Jarmusch is best known as one of America's most celebrated independent filmmakers, but he's also a musician who has used music and other musicians as key components in his films. Jarmusch grew up with a keen interest in music, film, and literature, and after graduating from high school in 1971, he briefly studied journalism at Northwestern University in Chicago before transferring to Columbia University in New York City. Jarmusch dove into New York's burgeoning underground music scene; he was a regular patron at CBGB, and was briefly a member of Robin Crutchfield's no wave group Dark Days. Jarmusch also spent several years playing keyboards and electronics with the band the Del-Byzanteens, who issued several singles and a 1982 album, Lies to Live By. ~ Mark Deming Wikipedia
