Music and sound boutique Nylon Studios, with offices in NYC and Sydney, has hired Deb Oh as sr. producer. Oh is a classically trained musician with nearly a decade of experience in the commercial music space, working as a music supervisor and producer on both the agency and studio sides. She comes to Nylon from Y&R, where she spent two years working as a music producer for some of the agency’s top clients including Dell, Xerox, Special Olympics, Activia and Optum. Outside of the studio, Oh has continued to pursue her own personal musical pursuits, regularly writing and performing music with her band Deb Oh & The Cavaliers and serving as music supervisor for the #1 iTunes ranked podcast series “Limetown.”
Nylon Studios global EP Hamish Macdonald said of Oh,, “Not only is she an experienced producer and a talented musician, but music is her absolute passion, driving force and happy place, which she now shares with our whole company. I also believe it’s the ultimate testament to the incredible work we’re producing, when a previous client has a real desire to join the team.”
Oh said she was drawn to Nylon’s talented team of musicians producers, the caliber of its work, and the opportunity to take advantage of having teams in both NYC and Sydney.
A lifelong musician, Oh grew up learning classical piano and singing at a very early age. She began writing and performing her own music in high school and kept up her musical endeavors while studying political science at NYU. Following graduation, she made the leap to follow her passion for music full time, landing as a client service coordinator at Headroom. She quickly learned multiple aspects of the commercial music industry and was promoted to music supervisor, working with a wide range of clients on commercial and branded content projects while simultaneously continuing to perform with her band throughout New York City. After five years with the audio shop, she made the leap to the agency side to broaden her skillset and glean perspective into the landscape of vendors, labels and publishers in the commercial music industry.
