Madonna Wade-Reed
“I love APM for so many reasons. It is by far one of the best-curated sources for music out there. Not only is the selection vast and diverse but they really understand what they have and how to describe it, " Wade-Reed said. "When I do a search online, I can drill down with all kinds of prompts and words, and I will always see a result…no matter how crazy some of my descriptions are. Best of all, if I need help, there is always someone readily available to help me, do a pull or help guide me in the right direction. Hands down they are the best of the best.”
Madonna Wade-Reed is an independent music supervisor for film and television and owner of Whoopsie Daisy. She worked on several high-profile shows such as the ABC series American Crime, the CW series Reign, and the MTV series The Shannara Chronicles.

Tiffany Anders
“APM music is hands down my favorite music library, from archival recordings that have the recording quality you may need for a time period set project, to the most current sounds, I know I'll always find what I'm looking for here. Sarah Scarlata and Adam Weitz are my key ears when I'm on a search and they always are able to provide options that suit my needs.”
Los Angeles native, Tiffany Anders, grew up with a lust for music, seeking out bands and attending live shows at a very early age. Moving through Seattle and New York, her youthful enthusiasm led to a recording career of her own. She started singing backup for other bands before releasing her solo debut album, Funny Cry Happy Gift. The album was produced by rock icon PJ Harvey and released to critical acclaim by Up Records (alongside Built to Spill and Modest Mouse).
Tiffany parlayed her passion for and knowledge of music with work as a music supervisor. Acclaimed directors Drake Doremus and James Ponsoldt sought her taste-making music supervision for films like Like Crazy, Breathe In, Equals, Smashed, The End of the Tour, and The Circle. Her supervision success continued on television with hit shows like FXX's You're the Worst, Netflix's 90s-set comedy series Everything Sucks! and the lauded drama Sorry for Your Loss.
