Recording artists he has collaborated with include Bjork, Madonna, Massive Attack, David Bowie, U2, Rufus Wainwright, Chrissie Hynde, Neil Finn, Annie Lennox, Bebel Gilberto, David Gray, P.J. Harvey, Elbow, Josh Groban, Alice Martineau and Melanie C.

De Vries served as the executive music producer for the 2016 film La La Land and produced the accompanying soundtrack.[3][4] He also co-wrote the song "Start a Fire" alongside John Legend, Justin Hurwitz, and Angelique Cinelu, and had a small role in the film as a casting director.

De Vries was the music director of the 2001 film Moulin Rouge! and worked with Nellee Hooper on the film soundtrackofRomeo + Juliet as co-composer, programmer, and co-producer. Both of these projects won de Vries BAFTA awards, and he was awarded an Ivor Novello Award for his compositional work on the former.[citation needed]

He also wrote the scores for Stephan Elliott's surreal thriller Eye of the Beholder[citation needed] as well as Elliott's adaptation of the Noël Coward comedy Easy Virtue. The latter is notable musically for using the real singing voices of leading actors Ben Barnes, Jessica Biel, and Colin Firth.[5]

In 2010, he co-wrote the score of Kick-Ass with John Murphy, Henry Jackman and Ilan Eshkeri. He co-produced, along with Tyler Bates and Zack and Deborah Snyder, and performed on the soundtrack of Snyder's 2011 film Sucker Punch.[citation needed]
