Netflix First Kill

The Monster on First Kill on Netflix

It happened again!! I got another KILLER placement! The Monster was just featured on Episode 8 of Netflix’s new vampire show “First Kill”.

HERE’S HOW IT HAPPENED

Last year at Durango Film and TV I performed The Monster to a track for the first time. I was super nervous because I’d never performed to a track before. I did it though and I was proud of myself.

When I stepped off the stage a friend of mine said that she saw one of the music supervisors write down the name of my song. (interesting!)

I sent my follow-up emails after the event and started getting briefs from this specific music supervisor. Then, on Wed, Sep 8, 2021, I got an email asking for the Instrumentals and Stems for The Monster for a possible placement in her new show she was working on for Netflix. She said she’d been thinking about placing The Monster since she heard me perform it at Durango! So cool!

Then on Wednesday, February 16th, 2022 we got a quote request for the show! My team worked out all the paperwork and then we waited.

We got word that the show was coming out in June and the song was in the show and on the official playlist! It ended up being on the FINAL Episode, Episode 8 at 18 minutes into the show and used for 3:05 minutes! It was a HUGE placement and a key moment in the episode.

Because of the prominent placement, I’ve had a major uptick in streams and shazaams and people finding me on social media! It’s pretty exciting!

I wanted to share my journey because it shows that things DO NOT happen overnight. That you have to be patient and have perseverance in this business. ALSO to show up and be prepared for when the opportunities DO come! :)
