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.

Episode 10
This is a Music Video Podcast - or should I say a Podcast about Music Video. This episode is a Double Feature because I talk about 2 videos that I commissioned at the same time and we filmed them both over a 7 day period in 2003. They are 50 Cent “21 Questions” & Many Men (Wish Death). This was at the height of the success of “In Da Club” which was still being heavily played at radio and MTV and BET. Find out all about how we made them and what decisions we made to ensure that 50 would be the icon that he is today. Enjoy the episode!
