Process The Podcast Soundtracking the Met Gala: How Winslow Bright Architects Iconic Sound for Premiere Music Group
Most people think music supervision is just "picking cool songs."
Winslow Bright is here to prove it’s actually a high-stakes chess match involving seven-figure budgets, complex copyright laws, music language translations, and ego-management of the world’s top directors, to the creatives and individuals who own the projects.
