Sweet On Top provides a quality catalog of original music from emerging and established artists and labels of all genres. Our specialties include pitching songs for placement in all forms of media, handling paperwork, and collecting monies due. We provide a high quality experience for supervisors and artists alike.
Sweet on Top was founded by Kristina Benson, a lifelong music professional who began her career with a degree in opera from UCI and piano lessons in her spare time under Miles Davis sideman Kei Akagi. After stints as a promoter and DJ, she acted publisher of the globally acclaimed L.A. RECORD magazine while also serving as Director of Lip Sync Music.
In 2018, she started her own agency and publishing company, quickly signing both legendary and emerging artists. Sweet On Top has landed placements with high quality brands such as Apple, Michael Kors, Coach, Vogue, Google and St. Regis, as well as promotional campaigns for the Olympics, Tom and Jerry and Songland and television shows including Station 19, Grey’s Anatomy, Rescue: Hi Surf, Duster, Pachinko, Hotel Cocaine, Riverdale, the Marvelous Miss Maisel, All Rise, Firefly Lane, High Fidelity, Ray Donovan and the Blacklist. Her writers have also secured cuts with Dim Mak and Warner Brothers artists.
Kristina works closely with the Guild of Music Supervisors’ Education Committee and is a member of the California Copyright Conference and the Association of Independent Music Publishers.
