Description

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into one of the most exciting and misunderstood income streams for musicians today: sync licensing—getting your music placed in film, TV, ads, video games, and more.

Sync licensing isn’t just for major label artists or hitmakers; it’s an opportunity available to any musician who knows how the system works. In this episode, we break down the essentials every artist, songwriter, and producer needs to understand to start making money through sync.

You’ll learn what music supervisors actually look for, how to make your tracks “sync-friendly,” the importance of owning your rights, and how to pitch your music the smart way. We’ll also cover common contract terms, fees, and pitfalls to avoid—so you stay protected and profitable.

Whether you’re brand new to sync or looking to sharpen your licensing game, this episode offers a clear, practical roadmap to turning your music into revenue through film, TV, and beyond—while keeping full control of your creative rights.
