Roy Budd (14th March, 1947 - 7th August, 1993) was a British jazz musician and film composer.

Although some biographies say Budd started playing aged four, he was two and a half years old when he started picking out tunes on the piano the morning after a Christmas party. When he was six, two German proffessors visited him in South Norwood, and after various tests, found that he had perfect pitch. They tried to persuade his parents to let them take him back to Germany with them. They said he could be the next Mozart!
