Hi! My name is Katy, and I’m obsessed with music supervision.

why hire a music supervisor?

I get asked a lot, ‘What does a Music Supervisor do?’ I don’t make music, but I can help fulfill the creative vision for all things music. If you have a song in mind, I can find the rights! Need a composer? I can find candidates! What I do most often, is help people find songs that are in line with their creative needs - but also fit within their budget!

  • Love that Beyonce song for your scene? Don’t have have Beyonce money? I can source other songs that capture the same essence and stick to your budget.

  • Find the song copyright holders and negotiate the use and fee.

  • Music comes to life on screen! Let’s find the best performers for the project.

  • A composers work is invaluable. I can help source composer candidates for the project.
