About

Our prolific, female-founded, multi-award-winning team are inspired by diverse voices and approaches to storytelling. For 20 years, we have listened carefully and responded creatively to an array of music briefs, building deep and respectful relationships with key executives across the music industry, and with advertising, film and TV companies worldwide. Whether a project needs encyclopaedic music knowledge, a commercial hard-nose, deep emotional sensitivity or simply an alternate perspective, the thought and attention we put into every decision is informed by our shared ambition for lasting value.

We curate, source, develop, create and license music. We deliver the full spectrum of music supervision from music production and placement, licensing and budgeting, to artist collaborations and brand partnerships, all with the help of our dedicated business affairs team.

We are also proud to represent a boutique and ever-evolving roster of film and TV composers, each sought after for their individual style and specialisms. We work closely with filmmakers, bringing to them both exceptional establised composers and the most exciting talent currently emerging from a variety of backgrounds.

Our team is committed to nurturing industry pathways and furthering our work across education, training, and internships within our sector. Leland is honoured to partner with Black Lives In Music.
