Welcome to the first in a new series of interviews that are focused solely on music supervisors. These are the people who are directly in the path of any of us focused on a career in sync licensing.
So I think it’s crucial that we find out how they work, what they look for, where they look first, where they look second….
And get ready for them all to have slightly (or wildly) different views on things like AI, exclusivity, perpetuity, and the way they go about their job of finding music.
Today I talk to Jody Friedman who has secured over 10,000 placements, licensing music to media, including theme songs, blockbuster movie trailers, globally recognized brands, and more.
