I think it's important to remember that music supervision is not just about a fantastic record collection or knowledge of music, although that certainly helps for aspiring music supervisors.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm developing a record company. I'm learning how to supervise music on a film.
I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.
It is always an honor to work with those that share your passion for music and just enjoy making great music.
A lot of the music editing job is communication and working out what a director really wants the music to be.
Mentorship is really important. I really like to talk to people who have been in the music industry much longer than me about artists' block, things I'm struggling with, or the music business. It's really important for artists to have a community. Sometimes you can feel quite isolated.
If you have good songs and a real desire to make music, the next thing to do, instead of approach record companies, is to get yourself a really good manager because then it allows you to focus on your profession of being a musician. Then they can focus on the darker art of the record label and the music industry.
I just love music - by no stretch of the imagination am I professionally competent.
As a music supervisor, you learn to embrace the best of every genre, and I really have to say there's nothing that I'm embarrassed of.
A lot of labels are hiring a lot more accountants than people that know music.
I've learned the importance of loving what you do. I have also learned more patience due to the nature of the music business.
