Butter Music and Sound has hired Warren Wolfe as producer and Nat Jenkins as composer out of the international company’s New York headquarters. Wolfe will join executive producer Renรฉe Massรฉ working with the studio’s slate of in-house composers and freelancers to craft original compositions for advertising.
Immersed in music performance from childhood thanks to his mother, an extremely talented musician in her own right, Wolfe knew music would be part of his future career pursuits in some capacity. He took time to find his niche and enrolled in college at NYU’s Music Business program, becoming involved in music supervision. Film scores served as his entry point to learning about the music for the picture world. At the same time, he learned Ableton: how to produce self-released and collaborative projects. He cut his teeth with an internship at RCA Records, learning tools of the workforce trade in addition to valuable music business skills. Additional internships with Search Party Music, Mom+Pop Music and Mophonics Music and Sound, among others, led him to licensing and production posts with ABKCO Music and House of Vans respectively. He joins BUTTER from SixtyFour Music.
Working in music was Jenkin’s passion and lifelong goal from an early age. As a self-taught musician, he played instruments, wrote and recorded from childhood, encouraged to go wherever creativity led him from his NYC home base. He earned a dual degree in composition and computer science from Lehigh University and began interning and working in post studios, including Headroom, where he later worked full-time as an assistant engineer under Jerry Plotkin. Roles with Headroom, PLUSHnyc and Sonic Union instilled a collaborative and efficient work ethic within Jenkins prior to signing with Butter.
Closely involved with the brand creative from start to finish, Butter has successfully collaborated on work with brands such as Wendy’s, Olay, Duracell, Discover, Visa and Waze, among others.
