G. Marq Roswell
American tech entrepreneur, music supervisor, and film producer
G. Marq Roswell is an American tech entrepreneur, music supervisor, and film producer based in Los Angeles, California.
Early years
Roswell was raised in Los Angeles, California.
Roswell attended UCLA Film School, graduating in 1971.
In 1976, he helped form and manage the band Player, which was signed to Robert Stigwood's RSO Records. The band's platinum single "Baby Come Back" eventually hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, producing a gold album, and tours with Boz Scaggs, Kenny Loggins, Heart, and Eric Clapton. After attending an early screening at Paramount Studios of the Stigwood-produced Saturday Night Fever, with its breakout soundtrack by the Bee Gees, Roswell sold his management and publishing interest to partner Paul Palmer and pursued a career as a music supervisor for films.
Music supervision
Roswell found a mentor in top music supervisor Becky Shargo Winding (Footloose, Urban Cowboy).
He began his career in music supervision by bringing the Fine Young Cannibals to director Barry Levinson to score and write songs for Tin Men, which became the catalyst for their follow up album The Raw and the Cooked, including hits "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing," which was written for the film.
While overseeing music supervision on The Commitments, Roswell formed and managed a joint venture between Beacon Films and Polygram Publishing (now Universal Music) to develop Irish musical artists and film scores. In that capacity, he was able to sign The Corrs and secure them a deal with Atlantic Records.
