Emmy-Nominated Music Supervisor Kier Lehman Joins Adland With Radish Music

Radish Music today shares that it is opening up a roster position for Emmy and Grammy-nominated music supervisor, Kier Lehman, further propelling his growth in the advertising space.

A five time winner of the Guild of Music Supervisor awards, Kier has forged a robust, decades long career across film and TV, with credits including everything from ‘The Lego Movie’ to HBO’s ‘Insecure’, a show consistently praised for its music. His work on the Academy Award-winning ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ contributed to the soundtrack’s massive success, with its hit single ‘Sunflower’ having just achieved double diamond status with sales of over 20 million units.

Kier has also built up an impressive commercial portfolio, notably working with Radish Music’s founder Peymon Maskan on Apple’s ‘Shot on iPhone’ and ‘The Rock x Siri Dominate The Day’, as well as completing projects for Spotify and Peloton.

In his new role, Kier will continue his development in advertising, able to keep his focus on the creative thanks to the support of the Radish’s coordination, administration, account management, music strategy, and licensing services. Lending his golden ear to special projects, Kier will cater to the specific needs of the industry while applying his cinematic expertise to surpass client expectations. Fear not, Kier's exceptional work on film and TV through Bad Sneakers will continue while adding this exciting partnership with Radish for ad projects.

Kier Lehman comments, “I’ve known Peymon for close to 20 years, during which time we’ve become great friends and collaborators - we worked together on commercials while he was at TBWA\Media Arts Lab, and I hired him to music supervise a film while I was an executive at Sony Pictures. We have a similar ear for music and how it works combined with visual storytelling, and this feels like the perfect time to join forces again. Now I get the benefit of being able to plug into Radish’s existing experience so I can focus on bringing creative ideas and fresh perspective to advertising.”

Peymon Maskan, founder, adds, “At the heart of Radish Music, we love to harness music to tell stories of all lengths - film, TV, commercial - which gives us access to music from both inside and outside the normal advertising channels. It’s super important to us that we’re constantly accessing new music sources to keep things fresh for our advertising clients. As a constant innovator with an impeccable ear, Kier’s the perfect fit, and we’re so excited to bring his sound to this side of storytelling. He’s also a great person, which is a prerequisite for anyone on the team."

Alec Stern, senior music supervisor, comments, “Radish delivers great creative, but it’s our refined processes, communication skills, and administrative power that really allow us to thrive. Kier can step in, remain as creative as possible, and not have to take too much time figuring out the ins-and-outs of the ad business, feeling confident that his one-of-a-kind creative will be supported with these first-class client services."
