Original music and artist licensing company The Music Playground (TMP) and production music library The Diner have brought Jeff Stevenson aboard as executive producer.
Before joining TMP/The Diner, Stevenson spent two-plus years as the executive producer for Nashville-based boutique music house Howling Music where he handled both client relations and creative production on everything from original music projects to catalog licensing to sound design and sonic branding. Before that he worked as a production manager for Sorted Noise, a sync-focused production company based in Nashville. Over the years, Stevenson has produced works for brands like Capital One, The NFL, Marriott, American Express, Coinbase, Uber Eats, Indeed, Tanqueray, and Denny’s.
TMP and The Diner continued to expand their global efforts over the past year, including by partnering with MUXIC, the Music Tourism Office for the government of Mexico, to promote the development of local Latin talent and to represent the MUXIC catalog of artists for sync licensing. Another expansion has been opening a Mexico City-based sister creative studio for original music, El Patio de Musica.
Stevenson who has lived and worked in Mexico for the last 18 months, will remain based in Mexico City to support the MUXIC and El Patio de Musica initiatives to unite LATAM musical talent with creative sync opportunities. He will simultaneously bring his wealth of experience and knowledge to TMP’s expanding creative and business development endeavors in the advertising, film, and television markets, both in Mexico and across the United States.
