TidBits 1 - Prince, Sting & Busta Rhymes Artwork

The Commissioner

From 1995 until 2008 I was a Music Video Commissioner. I worked at A&M Records and then transitioned to Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records in 2000 when A&M was bought by Universal Music Group. I commissioned over 500+ Music Videos during my tenure. This Podcast is an inside look into these videos and the fascinating world of making them - from start to finish. I have worked with artists that include: Eminem, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Marilyn Manson, Soundgarden, Sting, Pink Floyd, Mariah Carey, Feist, Vanessa Carlton, The Game, Busta Rhymes, Soulja Boy, Sheryl Crow, Bryan Adams, Feist, Keane, t.A.T.u., Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Mya, Lil’ Kim, Missy Elliot, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Counting Crows, Ice Cube and Sarah Silverman to name but a few.

This is a Music Video Podcast - or should I say a Podcast about Music Video. This episode is slightly different in that I am going to tell a story from a few different videos. Not every video has an interesting tale about the entire process but there are parts or as I am calling them “TidBits” that are worth talking about. I have made a lot of videos so I wanted to be able to talk about all the interesting stories as well as the in-depth look at certain videos and this seemed like the best way to do it. Also, here are the links to watch the videos I talk about in this episode:
