About G.E.M.S.
Good Ear Music Supervision (GEMS) is a bi-coastal music placement and licensing company with a focus on pairing brands and bands. Founder Andrew Kahn most recently served as in-house Music Supervisor at TBWA/Media Arts Lab from 2007-2011, working on the Apple account including the iconic iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Mac campaigns.

The company takes a unique approach to acquiring music for projects by digging deep into the wealth of amazing music already produced and at a brand's disposal - songs made from the heart and for art's sake.
Within a shorter time frame and for the same budget as a traditional music composition house, GEMS offers more diversity, top-notch quality, and a return to craftsmanship and skill that produces great results. Whether it's finding an exciting artist to serve as a spokesperson, the perfect song for a music-driven spot, or a stand-out instrumental track to set the mood, GEMS delivers the right music to foster a strong connection with the audience.
