615 Music, formerly Quarter-Past-Six Music, is a broadcast production music company based in Nashville, Tennessee. 615 Music composes television news music packages and custom image campaigns. 615 Music also operates out of Los Angeles and San Diego.

615 Music composed the last two image campaigns for NBC's Today morning news/entertainment program: "Live for Today" (2005-2006) and "It's a New Day" (2006-2007).

615 Music also has a production music library.

"615" is Nashville's Area Code.

The company, along with other composers of news music such as Gari Communications, have seen a surge in business since the third quarter of 2006 due to the fact that licensing company SESAC, used by composer Stephen Arnold, had raised the prices of licensing, making his news music packages to the point where it is likely that Arnold's music will be priced out of the television news market.
