Squeak E. Clean Studios has appointed multi-instrumentalist and self-professed music geek, Cecil Coleman, as music licensing manager, Australia.

Coleman brings to Squeak E. Clean Studios Australia experience working across some of the most extensive music catalogues in the industry, and as a touring musician and licensing specialist. She also comes with an extensive career history in creative roles across some of the top publishing and licensing companies in Australia. She will curate tracks and oversee artist collaborations for brands and creative campaigns.

Squeak E. Clean Studios executive creative producer, Karla Henwood, stated, “We are thrilled to have Cecil joining the Australian Music team. She has fantastic experience in music, personally and professionally, and is also completing a degree in law. With her passion for equity, she could not be a better fit for our team.”

Coleman added, “Everyone [at Squeak E. Clean] brings such a palpable passion for what they do and are beyond impressive with their depth of talent.”

A Perth native, Coleman began her career in government, where she worked as a communications officer for the Department of Human Services. She is classically trained in piano and flute, with additional training in guitar and bass, and landed two internships in music supervision at Mana Music and music publishing at Native Tongue Music Publishing before spending two years at Universal Music Publishing Group, working with an extensive library to partner with clients on the creative side of the company. Returning to Native Tongue as a full-time employee in 2016, Coleman spent nearly three years with the company working in a creative client relations role, partnering with the extensive roster of independent artists on the company’s roster. 

Outside the studio, Coleman spends her time playing drums with her band, Body Type, and studying law, immersing herself in her passion for music, equity and licensing.
