Sync agents are music licensing professionals who specialize in placing music in visual media. They have relationships with music supervisors, producers, and other decision-makers in the film, television, and advertising industries. Sync agents can help you to get your music placed in a variety of projects, from major studio films to independent documentaries.
Music libraries are companies that license music to media producers. They have a large catalog of music that is available for placement in a variety of projects. Music libraries typically charge a fee for each use of their music.
Music supervisors are responsible for selecting and licensing music for films, television shows, and other visual media projects. They work with directors, producers, and other creative team members to ensure that the music is appropriate for the project and enhances the overall production. Music supervisors are often open to hearing submissions from independent musicians.
There are a number of independent music placement companies that specialize in placing music in visual media. These companies typically have a smaller roster of artists than sync agents or music libraries, but they may be able to provide more personalized attention to your music.
It takes time and effort to get your music in visual media, but it is possible to achieve success if you are willing to put in the work.
