👍
great tips Chris. Thanks for sharing. https://ricklabonte.com/
You bet, Rick.
Great video very insightful Chris to a newbie like myself.
Glad you found it helpful, Anthony.
Very interesting video thanks for the info.
Good to hear, Anthony.
very insightful. thank you
You are very welcome, Douglas.
In 2018 I signed up with Catch The Moon Music to learn how to create relationships with Gate Keepers. I’m glad you brought up the fact that unless I am marketing, and creating the relationships myself, in my name, I’m just another ‘can’ on the shelf. That’s good. Cheers.
Yes, and we go a step further at Sync Songwriter where I actually introduce you to the gatekeepers.
That’s the hardest thing to do is make direct contacts with music supervisors. I have libraries and sync agents interested. Thank you Chris
It is definitely the hardest thing to do and that’s why I specialize in introducing students directly to them. I wish you the best of luck with libraries and sync agents.
Dreaming of hearing my music combined with compatible visuals has always been part of my creative process. I include imagery as I write but I never connected the two as a final destination. As a result when I finished a song I had a song. The concept of the visual was merely an aid to help me write better songs so when I moved on to the next song the visual evaporated. Until recently I didn’t see the value of the combination of the two. The power of the collaboration is a game changer. I love the idea of a B to B relationship directly with the decision maker. There is so much going on that is out of our control when there are steps to go through before the decision is made, not to mention giving up revenue when something does happen. I’m so glad I joined the AOTSP program. It’s filling in all the missing pieces of how I’ll be able to finally understand the value of my music and develop relationships to create a lifestyle business that is exactly who I am. This is what I needed, facts, presented by a professional. No BS, this is what you need, this is how to do it. I’m finished with only 3 modules and I have already had several mind shifts. Can’t thank you enough!!
Great to hear, Lee, and am glad you are loving the class. Wait till we actually get you and your music in front of the top music supervisors!
Well said.
Thanks, Justin.
Just commented wanted to add that it’s an honest evaluation. How can your program help?
I specialize in getting your music heard by the right people in music licensing. Unfortunately, registration is closed for the year but keep your eye on your inbox for the next time.
Are you a music supervisor?
No, I just know a ton of them and get lots of my student’s music synced through them.
So, I guess my question would be; how do I connect directly with supervisors when I am a newcomer to the world of sync ?
That’s exactly what I teach in ‘The Art Of The Song Pitch’. Unfortunately registration is closed for the year, but we’ll do it again sometime.
Thanks for the great advice. I am new to sync placement and am hearing this philosophy a great deal. It is however the one area I have never been good at before and that is the whole networking part of the business. Sounds like the only remedy is to get good at it or not survive. I will do my best to get there and any advice at all on strategies would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Hi Dal, I take the guesswork out of it and just put you directly in front of top music supervisors.
Hey Chris. I thought this was very helpful. I got a bunch of music and I’m trying to get my first placement. Seems like I would expend the same amount of energy either way. So it made sense to me. See ya, Dylan
Great to hear, Dylan.
Hello Thank you for sharing valuable information I have had radio shows that have wanted me to release songs they liked and felt would go global however my songs are not licensed so I never responded back I felt bad but also felt unprotected I know absolutely nothing about this business. What is your take on this.
Thank you for your time I look forward to hearing from you
Licensing has nothing to do with radio play if that’s what you mean. It sounds like you need to learn how it works and then get your music in front of the right people.
Love the analogy. You always have great advice. I am working on making my music sparkle so that when I meet a gate keeper the music will shine.
Great attitude, Kathy! Don’t spend all your time polishing through. At some point you have to start getting it heard by a bunch of them.
Great ideas. I had a similar video, but about the good, bad, and ugly business decisions I made last year. 🤣
Thanks for sharing!
Haha, nice!
Thanks for sharing, i hope to join your program soon!
Love to have you in The Art Of The Song Pitch, Natalia.
I know you’ve right on it, this is why i think i’ll try les than 4 music librairies in my research and focused most on relationship with supervisors, i’m very good in relationship. Thanks Chris.
Great to hear!
This is a great video and you explain things in a really relatable way. I appreciate it a lot. Building those relationships is everything isn’t it?
It sure is, Sarah. Glad you enjoyed it.
Sounds good and also sounds bad but if your music and your voice is good it will speak for yourself as to your talent
Absolutely. Your music is the number one ingredient for success/
Thank you for this information, it is very helpful. Understanding that the music industry is largely based upon relationships, how do you find out who the music supervisors are and do you recommend steps for building the relationships?
Hi Karen, that is too much to go into here, but is exactly what I do in my program ‘The Art Of The Song Pitch’.
Love this title and the information. I’m grateful you have found a successful way to help all of us and am enjoying your course! Debby
Great to hear, Debby! Looking forward to getting your music in front of some top gatekeepers.
Very Good info, lol funny to me that you dont hear this from everyone. Giving up up front and pubs also reminds me of an artist I composed for and she had to pay couple of thousands just to get played on radio many years back. Hmmm. Keep the good working info comming….
Yes, a lot of musicians are so excited by the prospect of even the possibility of getting placed in TV & film, they forget about what they are actually signing.
