Joe Cuello

Joe Cuello began his career in music for TV and Film out of a desire to combine several of his interests. After receiving a degree in Fine Arts and completing a post-graduate degree in Education, Joe began work on a documentary project that solidified his direction. The process of producing the film and selecting music for its score, lead to freelancing as music supervisor on MTV productions. “Pimp My Ride,” “Making the Band,” “Newlyweds” and “VH1 Bands Reunited” are among the shows he worked on in that role. Working with unsigned artists and musicians on various projects, he brought that excitement for emerging talent to his Music Supervisor role. In July 2007, Joe assumed the newly created position of Vice President / Creative Music Integration at MTV. The goal of the position is to help shape the evolving music story of MTV within its long form programming. With initiatives such as a Guest Music Supervisor role on marquee productions (Dashboard Confessional, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker-Laguna Beach, Pete Wentz -The Hills) as well as Composer work with various artists for the documentary series True Life and “Rolling Stone Project” (Michael Penn), Joe is committed to expanding the connections between music and television.
