I've secured the rights to a couple of songs for films I've made. It's interesting how easy it can be if you are working with the reps of an independent artist. It's sad when the costs for well-known songs and artists skyrockets!

I was just thinking about music supervision the other day. Very timely, for me, and informative read!

Fascinating interview and read. Getting paid to know and source music that is cool.

Fascinating read. I always think it would be fun to get into that part of the industry. Of course, everything sounds fun when it's just a thought. I'm sure it's challenging work.

Song list is on point too.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Not to put words in her mouth, but I got the distinct impression that Tricia loves a good challenge.

So interesting! The Sherpa title sticks. My daughter is very into the music soundtrack in shows and films and will come up with song tracks for scenes in the books she reads. Lynn Painter who is both a YA and adult author uses playlists in her books.. I’ve also incorporated music tracks in my manuscript because it very much frames the mood for any given chapter and brings it to life. Loved this!

Really interesting interview, and her song list was great to get as well.
