Range Music launches composer division

Range Music has bolstered its team of managers by launching a new composer division. 

The first hire is industry veteran Jeff Jernigan (pictured), who will represent music-for-media composers, songwriters, music supervisors and executive music producers. 

Range Music represents music supervisors such as Andrea von Foerster (Yellowstone, Landman), Jordan Carroll (Better Man, Dear Evan Hansen), Alison Moses & Kayla Monetta (Ginny & Georgia, Idiotka), and Angela Asistio (Interior Chinatown, Val).  

With the aim to create further cross-division opportunities, Range Music is officially launching the new department with a music for television and film focus

Jernigan’s clients include Oscar-winning composer Steven Price (Gravity), Emmy-nominated composer and songwriter Tom Howe (Ted Lasso), Raffertie (The Substance), Emmy-nominated music supervisor Amanda Krieg Thomas (Halston), Brandon Roberts (Andor), Joseph Stephens (The Righteous Gemstones), Disasterpeace (It Follows), Tony-nominated composer Helen Park (KPOP), and Grammy-winning music supervisor Steven Gizicki (Maestro). 

Jernigan began his music career at BMG Music Publishing and later worked in the film and TV department at ASCAP. He moved to Range from Kraft-Engel Management and will work closely with VP of creative sync and strategy, Leah Cook.

Jernigan previously worked with Range’s co-presidents of film & production, Fred Berger and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones. The collaborations with Jernigan’s clients included Steven Gizicki, who served as music supervisor on James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and Damien Chazelle’s La La Land, both produced by Berger; and Steven Price, who served as composer on The Wayward/Range-released film Los Frikis from Range clients Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz.

“We couldn’t be more excited about launching this new expert offering within Range Music,” said Berger and Range Media Partners co-founding managing partner Matt Graham.“It’s a natural fit for us as we expand and evolve our music representation business and given our deep commitment to music-driven storytelling. As the first hire for this division, Jeff brings with him a wealth of knowledge, an incredible roster and vast experience working along our film division, and we’re thrilled to be joining forces.”

“It’s an incredible time for music in media, and Range is a perfect home for those creators,” added Jernigan. “I’m extremely excited to build a vibrant representation business with the unparalleled flow of information and opportunity that this company and team provide.” 

Range Music represents a wide range of talent, including Jack Harlow, Shaboozey, Noah Cyrus, Partynextdoor, Pentatonix, Saweetie, Rita Ora, Midland, Lauv, Dylan Gossett, MAX, Stephen Wilson Jr, Sean Douglas, Paul Russell, Wondagurl and Russell Dickerson.
