Kerry Muzzey: Why iTunes Is About More Than Just Album Sales

February 11, 2015

Kerry Muzzey is a Los Angeles based musician whose modern classical and post rock music has been used in movie trailers for Clint Eastwood’s Trouble with the Curve, PT Anderson’s The Master, and has been featured in television shows like GLEE,  So You Think You Can Dance, and many others.


This is a rich interview that covers many aspects of Kerry’s evolving career, from doing music clearance for MTV, to scoring his first short film project for Jessica Biel’s production company, to hiring the string players of the Chamber Orchestra of London to record his latest album at the legendary AIR Lyndhurst Studios.
