President of Kraftbox Entertainment founded by Oscar-nominated songwriter, producer, and former studio executive Robert Kraft sits down with MUBUTV's Ritch Esra from the SyncSummit to discuss how he went from being an accomplished musician to the studio head of Fox Music and come back full circle into performing again.

Robert Kraft is an award-winning songwriter, film composer, recording artist and record producer. As President of Fox Music from 1994 to 2012, Kraft supervised the music for more than 300 Fox feature films, as well as dozens of TV shows.

Highlights during his tenure at Fox include the record-breaking scores and soundtracks from "Avatar", "Titanic", "Waiting To Exhale", "Moulin Rouge", "Romeo + Juliet", "Garden State", "Walk The Line", "Ice Age", "Alvin and The Chipmunks", "Juno", "Once", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Rio", and "Life of Pi".

At Fox Music, Kraft supervised the music for 20th Century Fox Television hits such as "Family Guy", "Ally McBeal", "X-Files", "24", and "The Simpsons". Under his leadership, Fox Music garnered 11 Academy Award nominations for Best Score and/or Best Song (winning 4 Academy Awards), 20 Golden Globe nominations (including 5 Golden Globe Awards), 61 Emmy nominations (11 awards) and 50 Grammy nominations (winning 14 awards).

As a songwriter, Kraft has earned nominations for an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, and two Golden Globes. For co-composing the song, "Beautiful Maria of My Soul" from the Warner Brothers feature, "The Mambo Kings", he was nominated for an Oscar, a Grammy and a Golden Globe. Kraft was nominated for a second Golden Globe for the song, "How Can I Not Love You" from "Anna and the King", co-written with Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and film composer George Fenton. Kraft wrote the songs for Touchstone Pictures' "Adventures in Babysitting", as well as the theme song for the long-running ABC-TV series, "Who's The Boss".

Questions asked during video:

0:00 - Intro

1:16 - You started as a recording artist, you started as a songwriter and you then went into working at the studio at Fox and now you’re back as a recording artist and you released a box set and you’re performing again. How did it feel to be doing all that after such a long break from it?

3:13 - I think you are probably the only film music executive who ran a major motion picture studio music department who was a recording artist. How did that role come about, where you went from being and artist to being the head of music?

9:28 - You essentially did 300 films during your 10-year at Fox. That’s a lot of films and a lot of music. Being a composer, being a producer, being a writer and performer, how did that help in terms of dealing with dozens of composers and songwriters for your projects? You could speak their language and do what they do and had done what they’ve done. How did that help in your relationship with all of the people that you worked with creatively?
