Madonna Wade-Reed is a music supervisor and the former Vice President of The Guild of Music Supervisors. Her current credits for television include work on series as “All American,” “Found” and the upcoming Netflix series “Ransom Canyon.” Past television credits include such shows as “5 Days At Memorial,“ “The Crossover,” “Batwoman,” “American Crime,” “Reign,” “The Shannara Chronicles,” “Blue Mountain State,” “Smallville,” “One Tree Hill,” “Alias” and “Felicity.” Her film credits include “Shirley,” “8-Bit Christmas,” the documentary “Let It Fall,” “Lovesick” and “A Thousand Words.” Prior to her career in music supervision, Madonna honed her skills (herding kittens, opening mail and writing about herself in the third person) while working in feature films, commercials and assisting a well-known actor. A lifelong love of music lead to a career move into music video production (finding the right visuals to match the songs) and eventually flipping the process to work in music supervision (finding the right songs to match the visuals). When she’s not working you can find her in her kitchen recipe testing, stealing fruit from her neighbor’s garden and buying shoes (she’s really really good at it).

"The difference between a music supervisor and writing music reviews is profound; one is about shaping a narrative with sound while the other is about critiquing an existing piece."
