Nicole Dionne founded PrimalScream Music 11 + years ago in her early 20’s and continues to produce original music for top national advertising campaigns.

Dionne’s expertise is producing high end, cutting-edge tracks for advertising campaigns and theatrical trailers that sound like tracks you'd hear on your iPod or satellite radio. She accomplishes this by tapping into a vast A-list talent pool, hand- picking world-renown film composers, recording artists, bands, television series composers, record producers, radio programmers, DJs, feature film music supervisors and more. The artists' music is then transitioned into advertising.

“"Picasso said, 'It took me my whole life to learn how to paint like a child.' He was talking about creating from the gut, rather than the head. This is the instinct of Nicole Dionne/Primal Scream Music. The result is music that enhances an idea rather than merely decorating it."
--Tom Peck, Group Creative Director, Y&RSF
