Commissioning 101

This is a Music Video Podcast - or should I say a Podcast about Music Video. This is a slight detour on our trip through my past.  It's called The Commissioner for a reason. The job of Music Video Commissioning is a unique, exciting and somewhat complicated job. I do my best to describe what I did, how I did it and my philosophies behind decisions.  I hope you enjoy learning about the process. Next week I will be back to my regular programming with a full episode on Eminem "Lose Yourself."Support the show

Om Podcasten

From 1995 until 2008 I was a Music Video Commissioner. I worked at A&M Records and then transitioned to Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records in 2000 when A&M was bought by Universal Music Group. I commissioned over 500+ Music Videos during my tenure. This Podcast is an inside look into these videos and the fascinating world of making them - from start to finish. I have worked with artists that include: Eminem, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Marilyn Manson, Soundgarden, Sting, Pink Floyd, Mariah Carey, Feist, Vanessa Carlton, The Game, Busta Rhymes, Soulja Boy, Sheryl Crow, Bryan Adams, Feist, Keane, t.A.T.u., Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Mya, Lil’ Kim, Missy Elliot, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Counting Crows, Ice Cube and Sarah Silverman to name but a few.
