HOLLYWOOD (CelebrityAccess) – Capitol Music Group announced this week that veteran film and TV music supervisor and producer Anton Monsted has been appointed to the newly created role of executive vice president of soundtracks and A&R.

Commenting on the recent appointment, Newton said: “The powerful union of music, film and television is so vibrant and important, and we have finally found the ideal creative executive to represent us in this realm. Anton brings with him taste, expertise and strong relationships as well as an impressive pedigree of success.”
Monsted added: “We have an opportunity to build the premier home for filmmakers, and their projects, where strong music storytelling walks hand-in-hand with the creation of great soundtrack releases. The audience for music-driven projects crosses borders and culture; Capitol has the artists, the infrastructure, and the vision to meet the appetite of this audience. I’m grateful to Steve Barnett, Ashley, and Michelle [Jubelirer] for the opportunity, and excited to join the Capitol team.”
