Fueled by independent artists
Every production needs music and it needs faces. We would rather they came from people who are not on anyone's roster yet.
Send us your work. If it fits a production we license it, pay you a share of the fee, and file the cue sheet so the royalties actually reach you. Nothing is exclusive. You keep your recordings and your songs, and you stay free to do this with anyone else at the same time.
Catalog
No fee in either direction. Your music sits in our library, tagged and cleared. When we place it, you are paid a share of the fee and credited on the cue sheet.
Featured
On camera, or built into an episode. A performer fee now, and a second payment that triggers if the production takes a sponsor or is licensed on.
Commissioned
Paid work written to a brief, for productions carrying a music budget. You are hired, not signed.
The rate you start on is not the rate you stay on. When ours go up, everyone already in the catalog moves up with them. Being early is worth something here, and we put that in writing.
What happens after you send it
Within three business days
You get a real reply from a person confirming we have it. Not an autoresponder pretending to be one.
Within three weeks
We tell you whether you are going into the catalog, and if not, why. Nobody is left waiting to find out they were a no.
When a production needs music
We search the catalog by mood, tempo and scene. If your track is chosen we contact you with the fee and the terms before anything is cut to picture.
After it airs
The cue sheet is filed. If you are not with ASCAP or BMI yet we will tell you to join, because without that there is nowhere for the money to land.
Music that clears on the first call
Because we build the catalog ourselves, one signature clears the recording and the song together. No publisher chase, no split discovered in week six, no track pulled the day before delivery. Every placement leaves a complete clearance file behind — performer agreements, licences, split sheets, disclosures, cue sheet — which is the difference between a production you can sell and one you cannot.
If any of those words are new, the Plain English page explains all of them, free, with nothing attached.
