Yvette Metoyer

My name is Yvette Metoyer, and I am an LA native and music supervisor of film and television projects. My first foray into the field was as a music assistant on the AMC hit series "Breaking Bad”, starring Bryan Cranston. The series called for an expansive array of music from classic rock to knucklehead hip-hop to mysterious cumbia and festive ranchera, among other genres of music. Since then, I have worked with an array of eclectic styles of music from various time periods, including on the series "The Walking Dead”, “Halt and Catch Fire”, and “Better Call Saul", to name a few. I am currently working as the music supervisor on the acclaimed Amazon anti-superhero series "The Boys" as well as the spin-off series “Gen V” – created and executive produced by Eric Kripke. Additional current works include the series “The Cleaning Lady” and “Doc”, both for FOX.

In addition to working in the film & TV music industry, I also spend time as an education committee member with the Guild of Music Supervisors, having recently produced the sixth annual State of Music in Media conference this past February. I am also a member of the non-profit Free the Work, an organisation that focuses on promoting the employment of talented professionals from under-represented groups within various fields of the entertainment industry (including directorial, editorial, composers, etc.) by creating a curated network of proficient artists looking to showcase their skills and sharing this information with studio executives, production companies, music supervisors, agents, etc., with the goal of introducing new and undiscovered talent for consideration on projects and work opportunities. In addition, Free The Work hosts forums and roundtable conversations with agencies, ad executives and studio department heads to help initiate shifts towards more inclusive hiring practices.

I am experienced in not only the creative aspect of music supervision, but I also generally handle all clearances on my projects, and I am also involved in the preparation for on-camera performances and (pre)recording sessions. I am also well-versed in the ever-changing union policies of both SAG/AFTRA and AFM as they relate to union reuse fees, as this is becoming a mainstay in licensing. I also have close relationships with record labels, music publishers and licensing companies so that I am in a solid position to negotiate favourable licence deals for my productions. Thank you for taking the time and for your consideration.
