L-R: Warren Wolfe, Kriston Poindexter
International music company BUTTER Music and Sound has promoted Warren Wolfe to sr. producer out of New York and Kriston Poindexter to associate producer out of Los Angeles as it continues to grow its bicoastal footprint.
Having originally joined BUTTER as a producer in 2021, Warren has since built a repertoire producing music for major brands such as Nintendo, Nike, Twitter, Uber, Porsche, and Reddit, among others. His work has scored numerous awards and industry accolades, including most recently a Primetime Emmy nomination for State Farm’s Super Bowl smash-hit 'Like A Good Neighbaaa' starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, which was nominated for Outstanding Commercial.
Kriston - also a verified Spotify artist with a dance, pop, and R&B discography inspired by Daft Punk and Frank Ocean, among others - has worked on campaigns for Olipop, BETTER Climate Store, and most recently the hero spot for the Liquid Death x e.l.f. Cosmetics collaboration 'Corpse Paint', which won a Bronze Cannes Lion.
Notes Renée Massé, executive producer out of New York, “Since joining in 2021, Warren has been an integral and cherished part of the BUTTER team. He brings a truly unique and original approach to both the production and creative process, and we’re absolutely thrilled to see him take this next step into a senior position!”
Adds Annick Mayer, executive producer out of Los Angeles, “Kriston brings a triple threat to production--he’s an artist in his own right and has incredible taste, he is meticulous and expertly organised, and yet remains incredibly kind and collaborative, something that made him effortlessly fit into the nicest bunch of humans in the business.”
After completing NYU’s Music Business program, Warren cut his teeth through internships with Search Party Music, Mom+Pop Music, and Mophonics Music and Sound, which provided him with insights into licensing and production, leading to roles at ABKCO Music and SixtyFour Music. Kriston’s early love of the arts followed him to adulthood, where he graduated from SMC with an AA in Music and transferred to California State University, Los Angeles where he majored in Commercial Music. Kriston graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s in Music before joining BUTTER in April 2023.
