They say TV is the new radio for musicians trying to reach and impact a potential fan base. But it’s not just TV, its any visual medium these days that people are consuming on a daily basis. Many opportunities exist to get your songs licensed into big or small TV shows, indie or major films, trailers, video games, advertising commercials, mobile and online promo’s. The best way for artists to have access and knowledge to these opportunities is through a music supervisor directory. A great music supervisor directory needs to give you ‘clean’ contacts, in other words accurate contact details from people licensing music in LA, NYC, London, Canada and Australia.
If you’re fresh into the Sync business you’ll need to skill up! You need to educate yourself on how to sell your music to film, TV and advertising music supervisors. You get one chance to make an impression with music supervisors and if you do reach out correctly, say the right things and present great tracks, then you could be earning an income from your music. But more importantly you will be giving yourself a promotional platform like no other.
When you’re armed with great music supervision contacts from around the world and a bunch of great information, you give yourself a much better chance of scoring a sync placement. Once you have one sync under your belt it normally starts the ball rolling into gaining other placements, which will substantially help to give you an edge in the music licensing industry. The media also starts to take more interest in your music. Meaning, more support on blogs, more spins from Radio and TV programmers, and garnering the attention from advertising agency’s on the look out for songs to compliment their clients brands..
