MUSIC IN SHADOWHUNTERS SEASON 1 EPISODE 4 TV
It was the right time, right place – they had four TV shows on their plate and were backed up with paperwork, so I just started working with them every day. I ended up meeting with an alumnus from school who worked at Disney and I said, “What do you do?”, and he said, “I oversee the shows Alias and Felicity.” I was like, “ Felicity is my dream show to work on!”, and he said, “I know the girls who do it, your best bet is to start as an intern.” So I connected with the music supervisors Madonna Wade-Reed and Jennifer Pyken, who owned a company together at that time called Daisy Music. So after graduating I moved to LA, and I started looking at the end credits of movies and noticed the title ‘music supervisor’, which is what I figured the job must be called. It dawned on me as I was graduating college that it was someone’s job just to find that music. At that time I was also a big fan of the TV show Felicity, and they used so much music that I had never heard of before.

It was the late 90s, so Napster had just arrived and the internet was kind of freaking everybody out – no one was sure about the future of radio. Then when I got to college I was a DJ for a modern rock radio station which was fun but not the be-all and end-all for me. I used to buy soundtracks for the score, or because I liked the songs used in a film. I’ve always been interested in music and soundtracks. Hi Lindsay, thanks for speaking with us today! How did you first get into the music industry?

We chat to music supervisor Lindsay Wolfington about her work on shows like The Royals, One Tree Hill, and ShadowHunters.
