with Pras, Karyn Rachtman and Canibus on May 22, 1998
Karyn Rachtman is a music consultant and founder of One Gazillion, Inc. She has served as music supervisor and/or executive soundtrack producer on projects that collectively sold more than 40 million copies in the United States alone.
Rachtman started in 1984 as an assistant at Cannon Films’ music department. In 1994, after Rachtman had spent years working as an independent music supervisor, she was hired by Capitol Records as vice president of soundtracks and A&R. After a brief stint at Capitol, Rachtman left to spearhead a new soundtrack division at Interscope Records. The first project of her new post was the “Bulworth” soundtrack. She continued creating hits on soundtracks, including placing Lisa Loeb (then unsigned) on the “Reality Bites” soundtrack, and the soundtrack in turn launched Loeb’s career with the #1 hit single “Stay.” The soundtrack to Nickelodeon’s feature film “Rugrats: The Movie” included the #1 hit “Take Me There.”
She expanded her own music supervision company into a multi-faceted corporation, One Gazillion Inc. The company is comprised of three divisions. Mind Your Music, the music supervision arm of the firm, specializes in soundtracks for movies.
