Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on February 05, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Cliff Martinez! From drumming with the Red Hot Chili Peppers to crafting moody scores for films like "Drive," "Traffic," and even preparing us for a pandemic early by composing music for "Contagion"—you've truly set a high bar. Not many can boast of transitioning from rocking stadiums to creeping folks out onscreen so flawlessly.

And let's not forget your early days contributing those delightfully quirky tunes on "Pee Wee's Playhouse." Turning surreal childhood memories into cinematic masterpieces? Only you, Cliff! Here's hoping this year brings plenty more neon-lit soundscapes, memorable rhythms—and minimal traffic. Keep driving that beat!
