Rebecca Rienks
Music Supervisor
Rebecca Rienks’ passion for music began as a pre-teen in rural Texas, fueled by mail-order zines, Columbia House and a lifetime subscription to Rolling Stone, gifted by her Mom for a mere $99.
After years of voracious music exploration and obsessive concert-going, Rebecca moved to Los Angeles to attend USC’s prestigious Thornton School of Music, majoring in Music Industry. Internships at Capitol Records, Interscope Records and the Sunset Strip’s historic Roxy paved the way for her entry into music supervision, as an assistant in the music department at Lionsgate Films. She has since gone on to work on over 120 film, television and soundtrack projects and countless pieces of advertising creative. Her work can be seen at all levels: critically-lauded indie films, box office #1s, niche documentaries, Super Bowl spots and both scripted and unscripted TV.
Rebecca is currently reprising her role as Music Supervisor for the second season of Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin’s critically acclaimed cult hit, The Chair Company, the top-rated freshman comedy in HBO Max history. She also recently music supervised the independent film She Dances (starring Steve Zahn and Ethan Hawke) and Larry David’s American history sketch comedy series, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, produced by the Obamas’ Higher Ground. In her role as a Music Executive, she has contributed to DC Comics’ Lanterns (created by Chris Mundy and Damon Lindelof), HBO’s DTF St. Louis (written/directed by Steve Conrad, starring Jason Bateman, David Harbour and Linda Cardellini) and the forthcoming season four of Julian Fellowes’ Emmy-winning historical drama, The Gilded Age.
A relentless fan and self-identified “music agnostic,” Rebecca still believes in getting to the festival early, assuming front row power stance and always catching the opening act. Her Rolling Stone subscription expires in 2059.
