• First thing, the music HAS to be good, as does the engineering of the song.
• The splits and metadata on your songs have to be correct. Do you have a split sheet, producer agreement, or work for
  hire agreement? Has your song been registered with the copyright office or any publishing rights organizations? Do you
  record the master recording and composition (publishing) for that music?
• Do your research. What type of music do you make? Which shows, films or advertising campaigns fit your style? Which
  music supervisors do you want us to reach out to?
• Are you familiar with our music library/database the “World Song Network”, the language we use to describe and
  program artist’s music into our song casting system is a useful and necessary tool to have for metadata.
• How are your emails? Were you personable, did you show an active interest in that supervisor’s world? Do you use mature diction and correct grammar (We use Grammarly for every email.)

• Artist send us their original productions they control 100% of the master and composition on.
• We upload the music to our business-to-business “song casting” system. “The World Song Network” and program each song for
  search criteria, including keywords, genre, lyrics, and similar artists.
• We pitch your songs on forthcoming film, television shows, ad-campaigns we think are a good fit.
• No upfront retainers or costs to the artist. We take care of the bandwidth required to program and host the songs.
• Should we secure a placement, we would receive a predetermined percentage of all revenues generated for that song, typically a
  50/50 split. We do not ask for any ownership of the songs we place.

We administer artist’s and catalog owner’s music exclusively by request only, and only if we clear a predetermined amount set by the artist/catalog owner; this is at the artist’s discretion. Our default is non-exclusive.

Based on the emerging/unsigned artist deal point structure outlined above, once we receive interest in one of the artist’s songs for film, television, or advertising campaign use we would enter into formal agreements at the above terms and conditions at fees acceptable to the artists/songwriters.
