PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This audio program is a recording of NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session with Guest Kevin Wilson, ESPN Music Director. Wilson commissions original music cues, licenses and places music for ESPN shows and the ESPN network.

You will hear Wilson’s reactions and live feedback to cues and song snippets. This is invaluable to understand his needs, interests and preferences, and you will hear exactly what he is looking for now and for ongoing projects, and the types of music he most frequently needs and licenses. You will also hear his submission preferences, what works and what doesn’t, and why.

GREAT NEWS FROM THIS SESSION:

Wonderlous Music CEO Philip Cialdella attended and placed two tracks within one week of this session! First he placed Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard’s “Hungry” in the show “SportsCenter.” Then he placed the second track, The Chris Bergson Band’s song “Rain Beatin’ Down” in NASCAR Racing Spring Cup Pennsylvania 400. This song has been licensed for the rest of the season for all of NASCAR programming! Read more music placement success stories from NARIP sessions here – the list keeps growing!
