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.

My profession is called record production.

I also have a recording studio that I use to produce bands.

What I try to do is produce an atmosphere where musicians want to invest in what they do and give to the recording. I hire those musicians who I know will play something creative and interesting.

I've been doing a lot of music for films and television for quite a few years.

A lot of the music editing job is communication and working out what a director really wants the music to be.

I guess my job has always been to build the music, direct the videos, to do all the things that usually fall behind the scenes.

What I do on film is part of my profession.

I record all of my music with authentic instruments in a studio before we start editing, doing many, many versions. The music shapes the film as we edit so it has an organic relationship to the content.
