Spectra Creative Agency Featured In Variety Discussing Composer Diversity

Spectra owner and agent Arbel Bedak was interviewed about Spectra Creative Agency and our efforts to champion underrepresented composers and help diversify the composer landscape. The article, written by reporter Jazz Tangcay, was featured in the April 28, 2021 issue of Variety in the Artisans section. Here is the quoted text:

Music creative Arbel Bedak (formerly of Decca Publishing and Evolution Music Partners) launched Spectra Creative Agency in March to advocate for diverse voices in film music. His clients represent a spectrum of cultures, personalities, genders and sexualities.

“When I talk about my roster of composers, one word I tend to use is championing these people,” he says of his approach. “Historically, there’s been a lack of that championing.”

Bedak is hoping his work will lead to more opportunities not just for women composers but for artists across the gender spectrum. “I feel there’s not enough trans representation in the scoring space, or even nonbinary composers,” he points out.

The article also featured composer Ronit Kirchman and our friends at SixtyFour Talent and Free The Work. To read the full article in Variety, click here.
