Re-locating to NSW in 2014 for a position in the Licensing team at Universal Music Publishing, after two years Cecil Coleman made the move over to Native Tongue to launch the indie publisher’s office and music studio in Sydney. With a background in Communications and Classical Music plus a love of soundtracks, Cecil’s role of Client Relations is made all the more easier, having a strong focus on maintaining and building relationships with music supervisors, advertising agencies, TV networks and film production companies… as well as pitching to brief and developing Native Tongue’s commercial music and composer rosters.
When not blasting music in the Marrickville studio, Cecil can be found hitting the skins in local Sydney band, Body Type, or moonlighting as a DJ at the local pub.
