April Music Supervisor Session feat Madeline Dowling

Each month we bring you a music supervisor who will tell you just what type of music they’re looking for. You then have 4 weeks to prepare music for them to pitch.

This month features Madeline Dowling, a Music Supervisor and Music Producer based in Chicago and currently working with Detroit ad agency, Doner. She is responsible for developing sonic branding for a broad range of clients/brands including Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and the Johnson&Johnson family of brands. From an early age, Madeline knew that she wanted to work in music and after trying on many hats (show promotion, record label, booking agency, music PR, talent buying, and even a stint with The Grammys) she finally landed her dream gig as a Music Supervisor in 2013. She has worked with top brands like Kraft, Disney, Cadillac, and Apple as well as on hit TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy, How To Get Away With Murder, Empire and Scandal. Previous to her work with Doner, Madeline’s career included roles at creative agency mcgarrybowen (Chicago), Chop Shop Music Supervision (LA), Good Ear Music Supervision (LA), Marmoset (Portland), as well as a robust freelance career. She previously served as a Governor on the board of the Recording Academy with the Pacific Northwest Chapter and currently serves on the Ambassadors Board of Uniting Voices. When she’s not eagerly keeping up with music’s hottest trends or falling down rabbit holes from music’s past, Madeline enjoys petting dogs, picking up litter and visiting hole-in-the-wall bars or Michelin Star restaurants.

She has been a featured speaker at SXSW, Lightspark Media Summit, The Hawaii Songwriting Festival, Nashville Film Festival, and has been a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences since 2012.
