Notes West Coast EP Annick Mayer, “Getting to know Kayla through the industry over the past few years, we became huge fans of her stellar music taste and winning sense of humor, something that makes her a perfect fit for Butter. We are thrilled to have Kayla join our team! Our Sync roster and music supervision clients could not be in better hands. Don’t miss the playlists she curates titled Nocturnal Transmissions, they are excellent!”

We are thrilled to have Kayla join our team!

Adds Monetta, “I’ve been drawn to both the amazing personalities and incredible work of the Butter team ever since I first moved to Los Angeles, so it feels very fitting to join the team at such an exciting time to help build their sync roster and music supervision projects.”

A former college radio DJ, Monetta got her start writing about bands and doing digital marketing in New York at VICE’s Noisey. She went on to work for indie record labels such as Downtown Records and Cult Records. Monetta continued her career in Los Angeles, working as a music publicist while learning about the world of music licensing and supervision, a career she had always dreamed of pursuing. She landed a position at Third Side Music Publishing where she learned the ins and outs of creative licensing, before moving on to The Greater Goods Co.
