Sync CONSULTING
representing your artist for sync
ABOUT ME
After 15 years working in Creative Synchronisation for record labels and publishers (Domino Records & BMG Music Company respectively), I have moved back to my beloved Yorkshire and finally set up shop as a fully fledged independent music supervisor - specialising in soundtracks to get people talking by digging out hidden gems, ear worms, nostalgic classics and future hits.
With a wealth of licensing knowledge and a head full of music, I believe my passion and courage to think outside the box is what makes me unique (as well as being a proud working class northerner!)
I also have many years experience in licensing across all medias and dealing with high profile artists, so can either be on hand to assist fellow supervisors with a project, to advise productions on how to clear music, or as a specialist within an artists management team to assist with sync negotiations.
ADVERTISING MUSIC PLACEMENTS
Guinness 'the purse' 2020
The Tornados 'Jungle Fever'
The client was after a quirky instrumental so I introduced them to this 60's underground gem
SKODA 'CURTAIN TWITCHERS' 2025
Fun Boy Three ' The Lunatics are Taking Over the Asylum'
I knew the client was after spooky but not dark - this hit perfectly
Nationwide 'The BLIMP' 2025
Midnight Star 'Midas Touch'
The client requested 80's disco party tunes and I've always had an interest in forgotten classics that are less obvious choices
B&Q 'DEAR WINTER' 2022
Maribou State ' Varkala'
Coming out of lockdown, the client wanting a modern, emotive and uplifting track- this one goes so beautifully with the stunning visuals
SEAT IBIZA 'feel the beat' 2021
MariaDennis 'You Extra'
An artist I signed myself as I could see her sync potential - I pitched 'You Extra' for this global campaign almost immediately after I signed her, and arranged the release of the single in conjunction with the airdate
TV & FILM MUSIC PLACEMENTS
Across my career so far I have successfully pitched and placed incredible music in hit shows such as Derry Girls, SAS Rogue Heroes, Peaky Blinders, The Serpent, RIVALS, It's A Sin, Stranger Things, Sex Education, I May Destroy You, The Death Of Bunny Munro, Riviera, The Traitors, Strictly Come Dancing & BBC, SKY & BT Sports programming as well as trailers for various series, channels and networks. I am proud of adding my sprinkle of unconventional music across everything I have worked on
bespoke
In my previous role I have been able to put forward artists for bespoke composition opportunities and also proactively try to initiate opportunities for them. Here are some success stories.
Pitching Jarvis Cocker as composer to fully score the hit BBC series 'This Is Going to Hurt'
DISNEY+ 'THE FULL monty' s1
Original composition:
Richard Hawley 'Not The Only Road'
A stunning bespoke piece which was an idea I pitched to both the production and the iconic musician
BBC 'EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE' S1
Cover version:
Billie Marten 'More Than This'
As a massive Roxy Music fan this gentle feminine version popped in to my head and I knew Billie was the girl to do it. I then approached the music supervisor of 'Everything I know About Love' about placing it in the series in a beautiful moment
BBC 'KILLING EVE' S1-4
Featured Song:
Blondie 'One Way Or Another'
When I was approached for a menacing yet recognizable song for Jodie Comer to sing in the show, my immediate thought was this. It became a little internet moment.
