“Brad’s appointment reflects our continued investment in high-quality, human-made music as both craft and asset,” said Michael Gross, managing partner at Squeak E.

Our studio in Los Angeles is primed to make the highest quality records, scores, and stand-alone tracks; Brad is just the person to help expand upon the awesome work that’s coming out of our L.A. headquarters.”
Marrapodi added, “Squeak E. Clean has always been about putting music into culture. I’m excited to help shape a catalog that’s creatively ambitious and built for the way brands and studios actually license music today–while continuing to make great custom work with the team.”
