Creative music company MAS (Music and Strategy) has partnered with Emmy Award-winner (Main Title Theme Music for Succession) and three-time Academy Award-nominated composer (Original Scores for Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk and Don’t Look Up) Nicholas Britell as he looks to expand his reach into the world of advertising.
Britell most recently scored Netflix’s Don’t Look Up, which earned him Academy Award, BAFTA and Critics’ Choice nominations. He also wrote and produced two original songs for the film, including “Just Look Up,” performed by Ariana Grande and Kid Cudi, and “Second Nature,” performed by Bon Iver. In addition to his Academy Award-nominated work for Best Picture Oscar winner Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk and Don’t Look Up, Britell notably turned out the original score for Vice.
Britell is also the mastermind behind notable TV music, including the main title theme for Succession. Audience demand led Britell to produce a remix of the main title theme with lyrics from legendary hip-hop artist Pusha-T. Britell also earned Emmy nominations for both his season 2 and 3 scores for Succession, and will begin scoring season 4 later this year. Other television scores he has composed include his Emmy-nominated score for Barry Jenkins’ The Underground Railroad and the score for HBO’s Winning Time which he co-composed with Grammy-winning artist Robert Glasper. Britell’s score for Lucasfilm’s upcoming Star Wars series Andor premieres on September 21.
