Interesting Article (link below): SCARLETT JOHANSSON GETS RAISE, STILL TRUMPED BY MALE LEAD, ROBERT DOWNEY, JR.
Thanks to my clients, I have never once in my career felt like my clients paid me less because I was a female Music Producer or Music Supervisor. It has never crossed my mind. A budget is a budget in our industry

This photo of Dave Grohl sums up both Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) weekends for me. I 💜and admire so much the incredible passion of these artists. To see Dave Grohl, after an unbelievable performance where he gave everything to his audience, running on crutches to greet his fans, blew my mind.
To get to the top, these artists have to totally love to give the gift of music and as well an incredible show to their fans… and Dave Grohl’s passion resonates through his entire team and crew @roklansmom

Accidentally using Va-JJ wash on his entire body. Comedy is so personal, and to create advertising that is to make the universal person laugh is very challenging. I work very closely with my clients when working on comedy, as I find that in comedy more than any other genre, my clients have timing in their minds that need to coordinate musically

My clients take such pride in their work on commercials -to be an amazing creative in this field takes such awareness of what is going on in the world, what could be going on in the world, trends, art, music & so much more.

Being a female music producer for advertising brings on it’s own challenges. I have had clients blurt out things like, “I didn’t know a woman could produce a heavy rock drum track” and “I thought we only hired you because you are cute, but you are one of the best music producers we have worked with.” I love having a good time in the studio, as a result of creating incredible tracks for my. But, I always have to be serious and remember that I have to prove more to my clients. I accept this; women have some things easier and some things harder. I just need to keep the confidence of my clients and show what a female producer is capable of in producing original music for advertising, tv and film

Ram. I love the way has branded Ram. It has been one of my favorites to watch over the years, and very highly successful. It was an honor when I received the call to produce the music for their Detroit Auto Show 2015, where their CEO would be presenting the company and brand followed by the video. I wanted to figure out how to take masculinerock to the next level musically, and knew just the bands to work with on it. Each band I worked with, produced incredible tracks. The one that was chosen had these chain sounds in it that built up, with really hot vocals. We are always pushing what is possible, as well… great way to live life and to produce music for advertising, film and tv

Definitely a highlight of my career, when I was producing music for and for. I went into the studio with an incredible rock band and we recorded it altogether. We felt the music innately for the campaign and visuals, as I put the band into the mindset of the audio image I was looking to achieve. They were truly killer and the lead singer “dined” through the night on Clos du Bois. By the “wee” hours of the morning, a star was born, and Madonna and Guy approved it first round

Comedy. Producing original music for comedy in advertising is so fun yet challenging, because is so personal! We all know what makes us laugh from our personal experiences in life, yet in comedy in advertising, we have to live it in ALL heads in order to make it universally funny. Each moment counts for the humor to work. I always need to get into the heads of the creatives and clients creating the spots -how much accentuation do you want the music to play with assisting the comedy, is the comedy accidental or pushed, etc. To be funny, each moment has to add up, and it is exciting musically and takes a team

Branding -There is a great deal to live up to in musically branding a company, and I LOVE it… The corporation; what do they provide and strive for in their production? What do they stand for and what are their strengths? All the way down to the visuals for the campaign, how do they inspire? My clients are my inspiration and guides! I loved musically branding When you get to create music that sounds licensed, yet is created for the actual client, everything is perfect! No odd edits of a famous song, no back memories… everything is possible when you hear a new song, and new curiosities soar. “Who is that artist?” It is an amazing opportunity from corporation to artist… Check it out: https://vimeo.com/85460154

True story… I was working on this beautiful campaign showing an infant and her mother spending time alone in their house… and the music we composed was absolutely beautiful AND called for a female vocal. For the live session with my clients, I hired a singer, who’s songs I had heard on the radio, etc. I loved her voice. The catch, she couldn’t sing the notes nor stay on key with a tune anyone else wrote for her. So, with clients in the studio, time flying by, take after take, not even the best tone assistant tools could help. My engineer looks at me and says, “Nicole, you are going to have to do it. I hear you sing all of the time, you have to do it, we are running out of time.” Horrified and completely not wanting to be in that roll, I did what I needed to do for the project and for my clients, and sang for the campaign. Everyone seemed thoroughly entertained except for me! It aired the following week Songs & Music to picture with my Team

Of course for the of the vocals and recording, I wanted Marc to feel at home, so I flew out to New Orleans to record Marc in an old -turned-recording-studio.
