Creative and Strategic Music Support from Concept to Clearance

From early-stage planning to final delivery, I help creatives, productions and brands actively shape, supervise and license music that fosters world-building, tells their story with intention and the right tonality, all while working to respect the culture behind it. In my work, I offer the following services and capabilities:

Creative Music Consultation and Pre-production Budgeting Processes
This offering involves strategic shaping of your project's musical identity in the earliest pre-production stages, prior to retaining a music supervisor and composer. Specifically, this service is a time to brainstorm and ideate with creative teams specific to sound world development, tone setting and giving practical budgetary guidance so that your creative vision can align with practical execution.

Music Supervision and Music Production Services
End-to-end support for integrating music into your project - handling everything from creative song selection, licensing and clearance to custom music coordination with partners, all the way through to final delivery. This offering ensures that the music for your project is emotionally and culturally relevant, legally cleared and seamlessly aligned with the story that you'd like to tell.

Music Licensing and Clearance
Paired hand in hand with music supervision and production, music licensing and clearance services ensure that you have the legal right to use songs within your project. Negotiation of use, review of contracts and approvals from rights holders are all handled efficiently, protecting your production from unnecessary risk while securing the best possible terms for your creative and budgetary goals.

Music Curation and Playlisting
Highly selective and personal curation of songs that align with your brand's, project's or campaign's mood, identity and audience - whether it's meant to support a creative brief, an instance of internal use in order to better communicate an idea to a crowd, marketing, branding, experiential events or setting the mood in hospitable spaces. This offering helps you to tell a story through sound with intentional music selections that elevate the experience you're hoping to impart upon listeners and viewers.

Historical and Cultural Research Services for Music-Driven Projects 
In-depth historical and cultural research and analysis for large-scale music driven projects that support and enrich storytelling around a project's needs. Authenticity, context, cultural resonance, time and place are all a necessary part of shaping a narrative - one that filmmakers, studios and brands need in order to make intentional, informed choices that honor the stories, eras and communities they aim to represent. This service covers the bases, top to bottom.

 
Interim Departmental Music Support for Creative Studios, Agencies and Brands
Day-to-day departmental support for your studio, agency or brand's production division during high-volume or transitional periods. This service provides expert-level continuity and cross-functional collaboration and support, ensuring that all music decisions remain aligned with brand voice, client standards and creative intent. I am available to work remotely, or on-site within major metropolitan areas with no less than two weeks' advance notice.
