Music Supervision

Music Supervision refers to the job of overseeing the music content of a film or television production, and specifically advising the director and producer on the choice of music. The key to a music supervisor's role is the cutting of deals with record companies and publishers for the music that will make up the film's soundtrack.

However, many so-called 'Music Supervisors' might be more aptly named 'Music Finders', as they may come up with great tracks for the film but leave a trail of inadequately negotiated licences for the producer, lawyers and accountants to sort out. We take a more responsible role and view Music Supervision more as 'Music Management'.
