Department of Music is a music supervision, licensing, and original production company built for modern brands. We help companies find, create, and clear the right music without the stress, confusion, or last-minute panic that usually comes with it.
We work at the intersection of creativity and reality. That means big ideas
Our work spans global brands and culturally defining moments, including projects for Budweiser, Instacart, T-Mobile, Walmart, Popeyes, Samsung, and Cooper Tires.
From iconic catalog tracks to custom originals, we know how to align music, brand, and culture in ways that feel intentional and true.
We make music simple
Music is emotional, subjective, and legally complicated. Our job is to make it feel easy. We explain what matters, flag what doesn’t, and keep everyone moving forward with confidence.
We collaborate early and often
The best music decisions happen before things are locked. We like being in the room early, listening closely, and shaping ideas together instead of patching problems later.
We treat clients like creative partners
We don’t see projects as transactions. We see them as shared problem-solving. When our clients win creatively, we win too.
We stay flexible under pressure
Timelines change. Edits happen. Budgets shift. We stay calm, adaptable, and focused on solutions. Everything is fixable.
We’re honest about what’s possible
Not every song is licensable. Not every artist wants to say yes. We give clear guidance upfront so you can make smart decisions without wasted time.
