ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Ep 01: How Music Supervision Careers & Teams Get Built

Music supervision careers rarely follow a straight line.

Mike Turner and Jonathan Lane of Clearly Music share how performing, publishing, pitching, trailer work and client relationships eventually led them into music supervision—and how their business has evolved as the workload has grown.

They also get into the less glamorous reality of building a sustainable operation: diversification, security, business development, partnership and making sure increasing opportunity does not become unmanageable workload.

For sync professionals, this is a conversation about building a career—and the infrastructure around it.
