About Ricall

Established in 2000, Ricall operates as a music supervision company, offering a comprehensive suite of services that includes music research, rights clearance, bespoke compositions, and re-record services. The firm caters to a wide array of clients, from global advertising agencies and major brands to independent filmmakers, assisting them in finding the perfect soundtrack for their projects. Ricall's business model revolves around creating, sourcing, and clearing music for various productions like major advertising campaigns, social media content, films, and trailers. They have worked with notable brands such as Samsung, Jet2, M&S, Coca-Cola, and Volkswagen.

The company is headed by directors Napier Bonnet and Claire Kelly. Napier, a music supervisor and composer since 2008, leverages his background in composition and production to develop bespoke music briefs and manage Ricall's roster of composers and performers. The team has extensive experience negotiating multi-platform global campaigns and liaises with major rights holders worldwide. This ensures clients receive a thorough overview of available talent for their specific needs.

Ricall also provides a platform for independent and unsigned artists to gain exposure through sync licensing opportunities. The company puts forward music from these artists for use in film, TV, and advertising. This service operates on a non-exclusive basis, allowing artists to retain the rights and control over their music. Ricall earns a 15% commission only when an artist's track is licensed, creating a mutually beneficial relationship where the company is motivated to promote the artists' work to filmmakers, videographers, and music supervisors.
