Jennifer Smith is a Los Angeles based Music Supervisor who is a HUGE fan of the horror / thriller genre. She grew up watching classic horror films from the old Hollywood age to modern films including the cult classics which hooked her on the power of storytelling through these genres. Jennifer started her career working on shows such as America’s Best Dance Crew, Dancing With The Stars, and The Ellen Show. Her love of music and the exploding media landscape guided her to join the Kobalt Music synchronization team to creatively pitch and clear music with networks, studios, music supervisors, production companies, and new media companies. Her time at Kobalt gave her extensive and broad experience in the synchronization world, dealing with all stakeholders in the creative and business process including record labels, songwriters, producers, musicians, managers, and marketing teams. After seven years at Kobalt, Jennifer went back to her first love of content and storytelling and joined the music team on ABC’s reboot of American Idol. After that show’s first season, she was inspired in 2018 to launch her own music supervision company, “Rat Dance Party.” Rat Dance Party specializes in Film, TV (scripted and non-scripted), and new media (especially podcasts). With Rat Dance Party Jennifer has worked on projects produced by Showtime, Netflix, Viacom, Shorts TV, Amazon, Pluto TV, NBC, Voltage Pictures, Indican Productions, and many more. Some of her recent credits are Netflix’s “Deadly Illusions” with Kiss And Tale Productions, Why Women Kill on Paramount+, and Behind The Music. She also is an executive producer as well as the music supervision on an upcoming radio play called “Hollow’s Bend” that is a YA supernatural thriller.
Jennifer is a board member of The Guild Of Music Supervisors as well as a member of the Television Academy, Women In Film, Women In Media, Women In Music, and the Recording Academy.
