Founded in 1999 by David Grow and Kim Pawlik, Howling Music is a music production company specializing in creating original music for television commercials. We have scored many hundreds of national and international spots working with many of the top advertising agencies in the world. Our clients have included Nike, BMW, Chevy, Yamaha, Toyota, Hyundai, Colgate, Mercedes, Volkswagen, ESPN, Kia, Fo

rd, and Mini Cooper, among many others. We are an artist-based company which means we work closely with a wide array of some of the most compelling and sought-after artists, producers and songwriters in the industry. This ensures our music is always fresh, very original and never sticks to expected formulas. Our name comes from our owner's dog, Bogart, who would frequently howl when David's band would rehearse. We're not sure if Bogart liked the music or hated it but the name stuck.

TBT: From the Howling Archives

With the World Cup kicking off today, we’re looking back at a project we created with Buchanan’s Whisky and Crispin in 2022.

The story focused on identity, culture, and the communities brought together by the game. Our challenge was creating a musical experience that could live across English, Spanish, Portuguese, and multiple country-specific versions while building around the iconic “I Believe That We Will Win” chant.

Still one of our favorite creative challenges.

IT’S JUST MUSIC. WHO WANTS IT??

For our Retrorama Label, we're working on some authentic 1920's music in the style of Sydney Bechet. Sound recordings were in their infancy in the 1920s but the music was very grown up. Ragtime, European, Classical and Blues all influenced this unique era of music.

At Howling Music, we geek out on all things Retro. Our dedicated Retrorama label is proof of that. Here’s David working on a vintage Trident console with customized Neve inputs. Geeky? Yup. But this music has kept us grooving for over 25 years!

We had the distinct pleasure of making an album for the US Marine Corps a few years back, and people apparently 1.11 thousand of you can’t get enough of it. Neat!

After a long weekend, there’s no place I’d rather be. Well, almost no place.

Here are Ryan, David and Kevin at the Production Music Conference in September with ’s own Edwina Travis Chin. The plan was to discuss Pickleball, but Edwina wanted to discuss our new joint label, Retrorama. So it was a pretty good day.

There aren’t many music houses that have Bulldogs as mascots. In fact, there aren’t many music houses that have mascots, period. But we do things a little differently here at Howling Music. Rocky’s rough around the edges and is fairly complex. But he’s warm on the inside. Like our music! Don’t p**s him off.
