The Commissioner
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.
