Working primarily in the genres of science fiction, action, and horror, his filmography includes Fright Night and its sequel, The Serpent and the Rainbow, Blue Steel, True Lies, and Johnny Mnemonic.
Raised in Bayville, New York on Long Island, Fiedel graduated from The Barlow School. After college, he became a popular and progressive composer, and in the 1980s, he worked on several successful movies, predominantly in the action and thriller genres, and pioneered the use of electronic instruments and synthesizers—almost disappearing from the mainstream at the end of the 1990s. He was the keyboardist for Hall and Oates.
He began his career in film in the late 1970s, and wrote extensively for television films and minor cinema releases, until director James Cameron hired him to score the science fiction film The Terminator in 1984, setting the wheels in motion for a successful career.
Since then, Fiedel has scored many popular and successful movies, including Fright Night (1985) and its sequel Fright Night Part 2 (1988), The Big Easy (1987), The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988), The Accused (1988), Blue Steel (1990), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Blink (1994), and True Lies (1994), although in recent years, Fiedel has moved on to other creative areas, writing original musicals and designing and building a surf resort in La Saladita, Mexico.
His last major theatrical score was in 1995, and although he enjoyed a brief period of renewed interest following the release of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003, when Marco Beltrami wrote an orchestral arrangement of his theme, he shows no sign of returning to the film music field.
Fiedel has been married to actress Ann Dusenberry since 1975; the couple has two children.

Ölüm gömülemedi sır sulara kerkez
Saian mezarsız bu şarkı bitene kadar çerkez
Rap bir mic altında krom vanelyumdan mermi
Kıblem katmandu da bizimkisi berlin berlin
Çift kopenhag rap ateş ve alkan
Okumadın bi bok bildigin yok hitler horasan ve tarkan (bastır)
Devlete bilenen türkçe kurgulaması son goku
Vatan yahut silistre ben dar ağacındaki bir histtim
biz tam 16 bar yazardık kilist gibi milistim
Düş patlatana öngörü kargınen ben oldum nakavt
eşgalimim bu göz çukuru sen açtın sen kapat
Ey benim ölüm gözlü infantamı iktisat diye
gece saçtım mezarına eylül bıraktım kalk diye
Kan gürültüsü bastırdı kaosu cabadan
Seher birdaha çıkamadı 5 gecelik komadan
kan alıp makasım var anlından ölmenin tam yeri
gene bir kast kesti beni ey gözleri tan yeli
kafa patlatan polis kurşunu hukuk yok bela var
Mülte düben oldum
bedrettin as beni sela ver
Onur Uğur
Adalet terazisi onurumu çekmez
Dini tiyatroyla kahbeligini örtmez
Yerin dibine gömmek öyle degil dinle beni
Belki bütün dünya utandıgı için gömüyordu seni
Gözüm kapalıydı çünkü dinle dogdum
Uyanış günün adını kıyamet koydum yalanla doydum
Direndim kahpe kurşununa geldi vurdu
Karşı çıktım öldüm bense suçlu oldum.
Seni urgan ip boğar beni düşünceler
Bugun arafımda beni gönülçelen
iki göz yaşı deger ölünce ben
kabul eder mi ki beni gömünce yer
Aklımı kaçırdım bugun babası vermediginden
Mülteci yerleşir okur bedava kimliginden
Krizol banyosundan çıkan soykırımdım doğdum
Bir orospunu şerefini içtiniz yıllar oldu
Halkın yanındaydım faşiste ezilenlerdim
Bu yüzden bütün yüregiyle inanan gezide bendim
Benim Cehenneminizin kapısına sıgınan
gelirim ama günahımla pusuna sıgmaz
Acımasız bir zorbanın meydan okuyuşundan
Umut arayan onurlu ve yoksul halklar
Bu bir sağırlar diyarı olur. kaybedense yine insanlık oldu
