Gender parity was foremost on the mind of “P-Valley” creator Katori Hall whose goal was not only to have women onscreen but also behind the scenes and on the hip hop-heavy soundtrack, which features 50% female artists.
The new drama, premiering on Starz tonight (July 12) is adapted from Hall’s play, “Pussy Valley,” and revolves around a strip club called Pynk. Set in the Mississippi Delta, the women working as exotic dancers are trying to get out of the club and the shackles of fictional town, Chucalissa.
Hall called in music supervisors Stephanie Diaz-Matos (“The Get Down”) and Sarah Bromberg (“Pitch Perfect 2”) to set the tone for the show. The two talk to Variety about looking to artists like City Girls and Megan Thee Stallion to deliver the pumping sounds of striptease.

In the ten years since the Guild of Music Supervisors was formed, the organization has come a long way. Granted, the job still involves low pay, long hours and little respect, but at least the craft has been validated with Grammy and Emmy categories introduced by the Recording Academy and the Television Academy, respectively. The Gms has its own presence during awards season, as it hosts its own annual awards ceremony on Feb. 6 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. (Quite the upgrade for an event that initially consisted of brunch and four trophies held on Grammy morning.)
In addition to celebrating excellence in sonic storytelling across 16 categories — from film and TV to games and advertising to trailers and emerging media — the organization will honor prolific composer and songwriter Burt Bacharach with the Icon Award.

As co-head of UTA’s Music Crossover division, Maxim Karlik sits at a unique intersection of music, TV and film.
Serving as a conduit between UTA’s music clients, TV and film teams and showrunners and directors, Karlik has helped secure original song placements for artists including DJ Khaled (an update on “Friend Like Me” for 2019’s “Aladdin”), Muse’s Matt Bellamy (“Pray” for HBO’s “For The Throne” album) and Pitbull (“Ocean To Ocean” for 2018’s “Aquaman”); acting roles for DJ Khaled and Action Bronson (Netflix’s Martin Scorsese-helmed “The Irishman”) and composer roles for Phil Lawrence (Netflix’s Christmas musical “Jingle Jangle”), Bret McKenzie and Bo Burnham.
The common thread for each project, Karlik offers, is the ability to help musicians flex their creative muscles outside their known lanes. “I think songwriters get pigeonholed sometimes for their previous work,” he says. “I love when somebody gets a...
