Sarah Scarlata
Music Marketing Director, APM Music
Sarah's passion for storytelling coupled with the emotional power of music led to a storied career in the music industry. Her diverse experience began as a performer with training at Berklee College of Music as a Drum Set Performance major. But it was after being commissioned to compose original drumline music for a network TV project in 2007 that the world of production music truly beckoned. Over the next two decades, her work as a producer, composer and Music Director has yielded two Production Music Association Mark Awards with two more nominations, placements of her original compositions in top productions including Tower Heist, A Black Lady Sketch Show, Shameless and 30 Rock, and countless placements from daily pitches to the most notable music supervisors in the industry.
And today, with thousands of projects personally handled, Sarah’s deep expertise in the full spectrum of music licensing is recognized by APM Music’s clients and industry peers alike. Her experience from both sides of the studio glass as a performer, composer, producer, storyteller and educator makes for a unique approach to pitching music and expanding customer engagement.
