People are talking…
Kevin Weaver
President | Atlantic Records | West Coast
“Rebecca is a smart, thorough and very talented music executive. She knows how to execute tasks to completion and has an extremely strong creative sensibility. I have worked on many projects with her and I know when she is handling something it will get done and and it will be done well.”
Dean McFlicker
SVP | Creative Director | Original Production | Brand Marketing
“If you want fantastic music, a hassle-free workflow, complete professionalism and a creative, fun person to work with, then hire Rebecca. She's the real deal: a creative, easy-going, experienced music maven. At NBC, she spearheaded countless A list projects (everything from Super Bowl spots with JLo to cross-platform multi-channel branding sizzles). She is the go-to resource for ideas, inspiration and perhaps, your secret weapon for success.”
Jeff Antebi
Founder | Waxploitation, Inc.
“The life of a music supervisor is not an easy one. Too much music (both good and bad) and too much paperwork (usually piling up) for any single human being to get their head around. Once in awhile, we do find someone like Rebecca, who manages to do it with style and grace, and graciousness and professionalism. You can tell she loves her job, she's enthusiastic about it and really is always just ‘on it.’ Best of all, it's contagious.”
Kelly Mullen
Global Head of Unilever Entertainment | Unilever
“Rebecca knows everyone! She is an exceptional relationship builder, personable and effective, who understands the value of connecting like-minded people. She has a ‘guy’ in all places, and you can always count on her to figure out how to get the job done or solve a problem. She has the added bonus of being an incredibly gifted creative writer, so she's always generating new ideas and contributing to projects in a way that's above and beyond.”
David Nolte
Creative Director | Principal | Scratch Creative
“I have worked with Rebecca throughout the years on various productions and have found her to be extremely dedicated, collaborative and thoughtful throughout the music selection process. Her ability to navigate the convoluted business side of music licensing is only outshined by her superb creative instincts. She's passionate about her career. Spend 5 minutes with her and that becomes self evident. Any company or project is better with her on board.”
“You crazy, girl.”

Jack Sanderson
Director, Producer | Really Big Shoes Productions
“After a brief discussion of what was needed for each project, Rebecca immediately understood and provided spot-on options along with awesome creative suggestions, most of which were implemented. She is incredibly organized, and a consummate professional in managing deals for music. She is the best in her field and as soon as I can, I will hire her again.”
