Baiardi's work in creating scores has allowed him to work in all areas of media. "The Real Housewives franchise is a real blast, and I can't say enough about the professionalism of everyone involved in putting the show together," says Baiardi. "Housewives is an opportunity to compose music that genuinely excites me while using cutting-edge production technology and techniques. I consider myself lucky to contribute to the success of such a widely-viewed program. I am also so grateful to Elizabeth, Paul, John, and Shawn and the ASCAP team for this award and the support they have provided over the years!"
