Sound explorer. Master of Arts. Music Supervisor.
My name is Leo Niemi - an independent Music Supervisor based in Helsinki, Finland.
Why is music? This incomplete sentence could start an abstract musicological essay which is something I’ve written in my days.
The mystery of music has led me through music schools, universities, theaters, rap albums and choir camps. It is also what drives me in my Music Supervision career: what can you make with music?
Music carries endless amounts of cultural connotations, psychological capabilities and personal opinions. I help people in film and advertising make meaningful and well-grounded decisions about music.
What does a Music Supervisor do?
As a Music Supervisor, I collaborate with filmmakers and advertisers to ensure their projects are enhanced by the best possible music. My role involves planning music with directors and creatives, advising on composer selection, scouting exceptional songs, and managing music licensing. I focus on maximizing the value of the music budget while safeguarding the production company's rights – so that creative ideas can flourish.
As an independent professional, I excel at connecting the most suitable artists to each project. I leverage a strong network of leading Finnish composers, producers, and publishers, combined with international connections, to deliver creative solutions worldwide.
I am a proud member of the UK & European Guild of Music Supervisors.
