“READY, SET, GO” We had the great honor of crafting the signature original song + music themes, underscore beds, and SFX stingers for Grand Slam Track, the brand-new global professional track league created by legendary Olympic champion sprinter Michael Johnson. Grand Slam Track officially launches TONIGHT, at the league’s inaugural Slam in Kingston, Jamaica. Dozens of the world’s top track athletes are set to compete, including Olympic champions Gabby Thomas, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Omar McLeod, and many more! The three-day event this weekend will be streaming live on Peacock and broadcast on The CW, as will the upcoming Slams in Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles in May and June. Visit grandslamtrack.com for more info on the league and the athletes, and remember to check out the event this weekend…with the volume up LOUD! Big thanks to Nicole Plantin and our friends at Soeur Agency for the collab, and good luck to all the racers! #grandslamtrack #trackandfield #olympics #goldmedal #musicsupervision  #readysetgo

SXSW, you did not disappoint. From catching Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson on stage discussing their new podcast, to experiencing the Curtis Mayfield documentary (directed by H.E.R., who also came out to intro and close it!), to dancing our hearts out at Big Freedia’s set—this week was packed with unforgettable moments. We also had the chance to speak on the Live Demo Listening Session panel (huge thanks to Alany R., Michael Pizzuto, todd porter, & Eunique .!). Great energy, strong turnout, and some seriously impressive demos—grateful to have been part of it. Add in gospel choiroke at the PREACHER party, Hang the DJ at Cenote, and enough tacos and BBQ to last us 'til next year… and well, we’re still catching our breath. Thank you, Austin, for the music, the conversations, the creativity—and the heat (in every sense of the word). Already looking forward to the next round.

We are beyond thrilled that Logic and Oddisee’s track “Pipeline” is live on streaming platforms! It has been amazing to see the massive impact the track has already had. The streaming statistics are truly impressive, and the outpouring of support, solidarity, and gratitude from both artists’ fan communities has been spectacular. The track’s release has catalyzed thousands of new signatures to the Stop The Iron Pipeline campaign’s petition calling for policy change around illegal gun trafficking, and has helped inspire important legislative and legal action on the cause. If you haven’t done so already please head to stoptheironpipeline.org to learn more about the campaign and to add your name to the petition. It was such an honor and a privilege to be a part of this powerful project, and to collaborate with such a talented, driven, and passionate collective. Thank you and congratulations to everyone! Logic, Oddisee, 6ix, Justin Fleischer, Mike Holland, Bobby Campbell, Brandon Barrett, Resonate Baltimore Children's Choir, Monét Guthrie, LifeBridge Health, StrawberryFrog, Madison Media Group, Wrightway Studios, Cult Classic, The Post Crew and many more! #StopTheIronPipeline Streaming Smart Link Here: https://orcd.co/08qndwb

Here’s to powerful performances by hip hop superstars stealing the show at the Super Bowl. In this case, we’re talking about Logic’s brand new original track, “Pipeline”, brought to life by TMP’s music supervision team. This song soundtracks the anthem film of the Stop The Iron Pipeline campaign about curtailing gun trafficking. An edited cut of the film and the track ran during the Big Game last night. If you haven’t done so already, please head to stoptheironpipeline.org (https://lnkd.in/dpzdHasY) to learn more about the campaign and to sign the petition for policy change, which has garnered thousands of signatures so far and has already inspired important political action. Congratulations to Logic and 6ix and their teams, as well as to our friends at LifeBridge Health, StrawberryFrog, Madison Media Group, Cult Classic, Wrightway Studios, The Post Crew, Keyhan Bayegan, Monét Guthrie + Resonate Baltimore Children’s Choir, Julienne Guffain + Sonic Union.  #StopTheIronPipeline
