On this first episode of Sounds Seen, our guest is music supervisor Amanda Krieg Thomas.

I had a lovely chat with Amanda about her work on the series POSE - we discuss the universal appeal of the show, and of course the magical music moments - including the hoops she jumped through to get Grace Jones and Madonna’s blessing on using their songs. The 3rd and final season of POSE premieres on May 2nd.

Amanda also talks about the evolution of her relationship with Ryan Murphy Productions (Glee, American Horror Story, Eat Pray Love, The Prom), how to get started as a music supervisor, and the best way for artists and labels to reach out to music supervisors.

Amanda is a music supervisor based in LA and head of Yay Team Productions, a music supervision company. She has supervised the likes of American Horror Story, The Prom, Ratched, The Assassination of Gianni Versace, and more.

Amanda has written a book called Thinking In Sync: a Primer on the Mind of a Music Supervisor, available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thinking-Sync-Primer-Music-Supervisor-ebook/dp/B07PYQG9JN
