COMPANY DIRECTORS
Napier Bonnet
Napier is a music supervisor and composer with over fifteen years of experience handling music briefs and negotiations across all media sectors, including advertising, film/trailers and various weird and wonderful art pieces.
After initially starting as an intern at Ricall Ltd, in time he took up the role of Creative Content Manager, overseeing the curation of the company's online music licensing platform and the creative music needs of its clients. In 2017, Napier set up Ricall Music Supervision Ltd, with his business partner Claire Kelly, to focus solely on music supervision and licensing.
Napier prides himself on ensuring the client's creative goals are met, whatever the brief and budget, whether it's placing an emerging unsigned talent, clearing world famous artists or pitching rare back-catalogue gems and oddities. His composition and production skills enable him to quickly develop bespoke music briefs with clients and communicate requirements to Ricall's expanding roster of composers and performers.
Standout work includes the fairly bizarre 'MailShrimp Song' created for MailChimp - composed by Josh Williamson and Alex Cowan - which won awards at the British Arrows, Creative Circle and Shots in 2017 ; composing the music for the HP OMEN Asia campaign ; composing a surreal score for the first ever TV campaign for luxury cannabis product, Lord Jones ; most recently supervising on the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 campaign feat. Nubiyan Twist, Onipa and Ego Ella May.
Past brand clients include Ford, Postmates, Nokia, Fiat 500, Sennheiser, Oppo, ATP Tennis, DFS, Topshop, TUC, Simply Be, Cow & Gate, Land Rover, O2, Shell, Halfords, JD Williams, SMA and many many more.
