OGM (Ole Georg Music) has been shaping the sound of film, television, and media since the 1950s. Founded by Ole Georg Hansen — born May 11, 1932 in Slagelse, Denmark — OGM grew out of Capitol Records' production music division and became one of the most influential independent catalogs in the world. Ole Georg is widely recognized as the Father of North American Production Music.

After Capitol Production Music changed its name, Ole Georg founded OGM in 1994, preserving and extending a catalog that had already spent decades defining the sonic backdrop of American culture. Under his direction, the library expanded to encompass orchestral scores, jazz, big band, electronic, ambient, and beyond — a range built not from samples or shortcuts, but from real sessions, real rooms, and real players captured on tape.

His music has been heard in thousands of films and television programs: from Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs to Pulp Fiction, from Pretty Woman to Seinfeld, from Saturday Night Live to Poker Face. The catalog spans six decades and continues to appear in new productions worldwide.

OGM's recordings have also been the foundation for licensed samples used by artists including Jurassic 5 and Prodigy, extending the catalog's legacy into hip-hop and beyond.

In 2026, following a full digitization and archival restoration effort led by Anthony Miller, the entire OGM catalog became accessible worldwide via DSP platforms including Spotify — ensuring this music reaches the next generation of creators as powerfully as it reached the last.
