    Hello chris happy new year!
    I am indie artist from nigeria, the name is Goodchi.
    Saw your mail and i would love the opportunity to get my song on sync n tv, looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks

    1. Chris SD

      Great to hear! You can license your music to TV & film from anywhere.

  3. Caitlin Sigler

    In the past, I’ve joined two other sync events where a gatekeeper provided the opportunity to present songs, both originals and covers, to music supervisors, and unfortunately, I felt they were a waste of my money and time. I’m curious to learn more about your panel. I’d like to know how what you offer is different from what I’ve done in the past.

    1. Chris SD

      Sorry to hear that, Caitlin. Unfortunately there are some people out there who are more interested in your pocketbook than your success. Just come out to the panel which is totally free to find out how you can connect with the right people in TV & film.

  4. Lynn Frances Anderson

    I’m happy to attend.

    2. Imaaji

      Hey Chris, thank you for putting this together. I’ve got a large catalog. However, I’ve not released anything much. Just one tune which was just a passion idea never promoted and another one on YT a whiiillle back. I’m wondering does an Artist needs to be out and active to get sync?

  5. Beth

    Happy new year! Would love to be considered for this. Especially with a new album coming out this year!

    Thanks!

    1. Chris SD

      Perfect timing! See you there, Beth.

  6. Glen Timothy Fast

    Hi Chris, I am currently working on some songs and getting a recording program, I play guitar, piano, bass, and write complete songs, I use to be in a band in the 90’s, and still love to write. I have some songs on my SoundCloud, they are old, I am working on new music.

    1. Chris SD

      You sound like you are ready to go in sync licensing. See you at the panel, Glen!

  7. Eric Salazar

  9. Cole Tate

    Hi, in 2025 I placed my first couple albums with music libraries. I have been doing a lot of writing and collaborating and would love to attend your meeting with sync supervisors.
    A question I would have would be in regards to upfront buyouts. Do they recommend? Pros and cons. I’m not sure if that is better suited to music library people, but it has come up in one of the deals I was offered. Thanks so much for all that you do and I look forward to the event. Cole

    1. Chris SD

      I will try and fit your question in, Cole. I’ll see you there!

  12. L L Straughan

    Have a question regarding “Work For hire” documentation.
    If a collaboration includes a now deceased person, how do I acquire the required release?
    Thank you for what you are doing!
    All good things!

    1. Chris SD

      I will see if I can fit your question in. Thanks!

      1. Gretchen Christopher

        Chris, I have a similar situation: work for hire,/deceased. Other than that, the first song I wrote, arranged in counter point, and recorded as The Fleetwoods, Number one Hit “Come Softly to me“ is now in many movies. See thefleetwoods.com. New recordings of it and top 40 hit “Graduation’s Here“ and 14 others are now streaming (Suite 16) a BILLBOARD critics pick for 10 best albums of the year. ARTIST: Gretchen Christopher. How to submit for synch?

  13. Susan Eck

    Chris,

    I certainly would love to be considered. Susan

    1. Chris SD

      Great to hear, Susan! Looking forward to seeing you there.

  14. Kenneth Jackson

    I have been wanting to get into sync for 20 years and now that I have time I want to dedicate some of it to this! I have tried and got one song published, but I barely miss the mark with other opportunities (one element of the song may be missing that the brief calls for), but I always get a compliment for producing a good song, but no sync,

    1. Chris SD

      Well you are in the right place then, Kenneth. I’ve been helping indie songwriters like you get placements in TV & film for over 15 years. See you there!

  15. Gwyndolyn Parker

    Thank you for this opportunity

    1. Chris SD

      You bet, Gwyndolyn!

  16. Marshall Kennedy

    Yea I would like to join in on your sync music panel.

  18. Zactionary

    Hello, I can make any music u want!

    1. Chris SD

      Just come out to the panel to find out how you can connect to the right people.

  19. Alli K

    Hi Chris, my name is Alexandra and I go by the independent artist name Alli K. This sounds hopeful! I would like to attend to see what I can get out of this session! Please let me know how I can attend. If it’s going to be a zoom meeting. I will definitely be there! One question I have for the supervisors is this. I’ve heard in the past that a lot of advertisement agencies, and so on already have a lot of musicians in Studios preparing music for sync placements. If this is truly the case, how does an independent artist find a way to connect with the supervisors when they’re competing against the big machine? Especially if they don’t have the money backing themselves? thank you very much and I’m looking forward to connecting and hopefully moving forward somewhere! Much love and happy new year to all!

    1. Chris SD

      Yes, it is on Zoom and I will be sending the link tomorrow. To answer your question here and now in a nutshell, no companies don’t often have musicians on staff. It’s far cheaper for them to pay you for your song than hire a team of songwriters full-time. You will find out how all that works at the panel. See you there!

  20. David Berlin

    Thank you for the opportunity. I’m excited to be able to participate.

    1. Chris SD

      Excellent! See you there!

  21. Patsy Toop

    1. Chris SD

      I am looking for new music to connect to my music supervisor friends. If you want to find out how to do that, come out to the panel.

  23. Jeff Neal

    Hi Chris, My wife (Jennifer Daniels) and I have been writing, recording, and producing our original songs for over two decades. We will be there next Sunday, and look forward to meeting you and learning more about your sync opportunities. Cheers, Jeff Neal

  26. Anna Swift

    Hi Chris, I am interested in attending your sync panel. Thank you for the opportunity!

    Some questions:

    1) Is it best to write specifically for sync placement or rather to write just with sync in mind? In other words, can we focus on creating music that comes from our heart/is that the type of music that speaks the most/has the greatest impact on music supervisors?

    2) How do we stay professional in our communications without coming across as being overly enthusiastic about our music when contacting music supervisors directly?

    3) What is a reasonable amount of money to pay a sync agent for pitching our music to music supervisors?

    4) What’s a good mixture of lyrics versus instrumental interludes for a sync song?

    5) Is there a specific type of voice that tends to do well generally speaking for sync placements (e.g., female vs. male, high vs. low tone)?

    I am happy for any of these questions to be considered and/or explored.

    Thank you again, Sir.

    1. Chris SD

      Thanks for your questions, Anna. I’ll see how many of your questions I can fit.

  27. Nathan

    Hello, I’m an composer who’s trying to get into Film scoring, and or music production for Games, and or anime, I’m wondering who can I meet to get a head start on this, and if there is any further steps I need to accomplish this, or at least get momentum going.

    1. Chris SD

      Great to hear, Nathan. Just come out to the panel to see how to do that. See you there!

  28. Cara

    Hello,

    1. Chris SD

      You are in the right place! See you at the panel.

  31. Michael Michael Motorcycle

    Chris what kind of boat you on good sir? Would love to work with you! Does date of release for music affect sync worthiness? I’ve released 5 or 6 albums in the last 8 years and would love to have “older” songs considered as well as my newest stuff. Cheers!

    1. Chris SD

      I have a Beneteau Sense 50, Michael. 🙂 Release date of your music does not matter at all. See you there!

  32. Mette Kirkegaard

  34. Krisjanis Birkmanis

    Hi Chris and Happy New Year 😉

    Thank You for doing what you do here at syncsongwriter. I have followed your work since last year. And so glad I have come across your work. My name is Krisjanis Birkmanis i compose different genres.. voice and guitar, calm as well as upbeat electronic and ambient. When I put my attention to it there feels like always something wants to come out. I know its a bit of a luck game but I do love songwriting and no matter what I would still do it. And I would be honoured to share my work with you and your friends in film and tv. Maybe its exactly what they are looking for. I would like to to know more of course. Thanks again.
    Sincerely, Krisjanis

    1. Chris SD

      Great! Come out to the panel to find out how to do that. See you there!

  35. David Dengler

    1. Chris SD

  36. Ryan

    Hi Chris
    Great to see you still doing the great work in sync. Am excited to be releasing new music in 2026.

    My question is how different is the process on the music supervisor and musician side of things considering the huge shift with AI both in music creation and in general toolkits in the industry?

    1. Chris SD

      Thanks for the question, Ryan. I will try to fit it in. See you there!

  37. Marie

    Would love to attend! But, I live in Sweden so time difference might be a problem. What date and time (and time zone)? ): Also, can one of my songwriter friends attend also?

    1. Chris SD

      It is on Sunday, January 11 at 10am PT so should be in the evening for you. Just keep an eye on your inbox for the link.

  43. Lewis Wells

    Hello, Chris. I plan to be there (virtually – I’m caregiver to my parents) and appreciate you creating this opportunity to learn, as I readily admit I know absolutely nothing about getting a song placed.

    One question I’d ask if physically present would be do these supervisors prefer songs with lyrics or instrumental tunes. I’m sure it’s MUCH more nuanced than the binary presented by my question (I’m sure things like what mood needs to be conveyed, what story needs to be told, etc matter most), but I’d be curious just to hear their instinctive preferences.

    Thanks again.

    1. Chris SD

      Great, I’ll see you there, Lewis. The answer is more nuanced than that and I will be sure to make sure it gets asked for you.

  44. John Douglas Pritchard

    Hello Chris, Happy New Year indeed.

    I’ve just made four albums available that can be picked apart and used for anything. Different styles and voices. Lots to chose from and more to come I’d be honored to participate.

    Warmest Regards,
    John Douglas Pritchard

    1. Chris SD

      You are in a good spot then, John. See you there!

  45. Patrick Dune

    Hello,
    I would be interested in opportunities to place my music in TV and Movies.
    Just to be clear I am not interested in taking any courses or purchasing any programs from you.
    I am just looking for real opportunities.
    Peace
    Patrick

    1. Chris SD

  46. LizzyK

      It would be great to finally work with you, Lizzy, and get your music heard by the right people!

  47. James Hawken

    Hi Chris, thanks for the email and invite to the Sync Songwriter Music Supervisor Panel (no this isn’t an AI generated response, I’m just a bit of a stickler for detail 😂). Sounds like an opportunity not to be missed! Please count me in! James.

    1. Chris SD

      Sounds great, James! See you there.

  48. Bashar

    Thank you. I will definitely be attending. I would like to know how I submit a whole library for sync. I’m have been running a dance label and have 200% rights to the music and would like to get placement for sync opportunities.

    1. Chris SD

      Good hear your are coming out, Bashar. We’ll definitely be talking about where the supervisors get their indie music.

  49. Nathan Smith

    Hello, I’m humbled to be offered this invitation, As a music composer I am interested in how to generate income on a constant basis, and ultimately make music for anime, video games etc. . So I’m asking if there are any extra steps needed to at least get the momentum going.

    1. Chris SD

      You are in the right place, Nathan. Just come out to the panel and you will find out what the next best step you should take is.

  50. Steven Thomas

    Hi Chris

    I’m Steve, a passionate indie songwriter who thrives on crafting stories through music. My songwriting process often begins with deeply personal experiences, and I enjoy creating lyrics that resonate on multiple levels.

    For instance, my song “[Song Title]” explores themes of [insert themes], with lines like “[insert impactful lyric]” that aim to evoke strong emotions. Collaborating with artists such as [notable collaborators] has enriched my style and broadened my perspective.

    I believe my work could beautifully complement projects like [specific TV shows or films], given its narrative depth and emotional resonance. You can listen to my songs on [insert links], where I focus on storytelling and lyrical depth.

    I would love to discuss how my music might fit into your upcoming projects. Thank you for considering my work!

    Best,
    Steven Thomas

  51. Jon Petter Sand

    Hi Chris!
    I will be attending the meeting.
    If possible to ask supervisors, what’s the most important: metadata info other than obvious tittle ect. Or how the songs are mastered?
    Wish you a great new years !

    Best regards
    Jon

    1. Chris SD

      Great question! I’ll see if I can fit that in, Jon. See you there.

  52. Kim

    Hi Chris! Would definitely love to attend, I feel like I missed where to find the date and time of the event though 😅 thanks!

    1. Chris SD

      It’s this coming Sunday, January 11, but just keep an eye on your inbox to get the link for it.

  53. Lloyd Andrews

    Thank you, Chris for the invite! I will be aiming to join virtually. Question for the panel. When looking for songs for Film and TV, are they more interested in the music itself or does the lyric aspect have a major role to play?

    1. Chris SD

      Perfect! Thanks for the question, Lloyd.

  54. Danni Elle

    Hey Chris! I would love to attend – how do we get access to the link?

    1. Chris SD

      I am releasing the link tomorrow, Elle. See you there!

  55. Jason Rosen

    Yes I would love to attend. I logged into your live stream last year too. I’ve been writing / producing mainly for libraries. Would love to branch out to directly music supervisors for placements.

    1. Chris SD

      I think that is a much better move, Jason. Looking forward to it!

    Hi! Thank you for sharing this opportunity. I create original music and I’d be really interested in sync songwriting. I’d love to learn more and see if my music could be a good fit. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    1. Chris SD

      Sounds great, Michal. Just come out to the panel this Sunday!

  59. Tori Kamal

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you so much for letting us be a part of this amazing opportunity!
    Is it common for a song to be used in multiple sync projects, over time, or is it more common for a song to be used a single time in a single project by a music supervisor?

    Thanks again–I will absolutely be attending virtually!

    1. Chris SD

      The same song can get used multiple times, there really is no limit. See you at the panel on Sunday!

  60. HATINA GILLIARD

    I am definitely interested, Chris!

    1. Chris SD

      👍

  61. Russell

    I’m currently working on two (qty 2) LP album projects, plus one EP. Approximate mix is original works (70%) to covers (30%). I already have one album behind me with 16 originals/ 17 songs. At this point in my life, I do not want to sit around hope someone discovers what I believe includes a substantial amount of cinematic material worthy of film scores.

    Ready for your help. Let’s get started.

    1. Chris SD

      Sounds like a plan, Russell! See you next Sunday.

  62. Douglas Garnett

  64. Steven Thomas

    Hi Chris
    I’m Steve, a passionate indie songwriter who thrives on crafting stories through music. My songwriting process often begins with deeply personal experiences, and I enjoy creating lyrics that resonate on multiple levels.
    For instance, my song “We Miss You” explores themes of Love and Loss, with lines like “Your Spirit lives in all of us, I know that sorrow will turn to joy eventually” that aim to evoke strong emotions. Collaborating with artists such as Jessie Jukebox, YStress, T9 and PM has enriched my style and broadened my perspective.
    I believe my work could beautifully complement projects like Chicago Fire, 9-1-1, Boston Blue and Raising Kanan, given its narrative depth and emotional resonance. You can listen to my songs on https://open.spotify.com/album/6j2BYZEcZBZUJEw4lrx7jV?si=duLzSAmjQQ6qXDN3WQ4Zwg, where I focus on storytelling and lyrical depth.

    1. Chris SD

      Hi Steven, I unfortunately can’t listen to all the music that gets sent to me and I am not an agent. I connect indie songwriters like you to music supervisors. If you want to find out how to do that, just come out to the panel and I’ll see you there.

    2. Chris SD

      I unfortunately can’t listen to all the music that gets sent to me, Steven, but come out to the panel. There you will find out how to connect with the right people in TV & film with your music. See you there!

  72. Jess

    Hello – thank you for this opportunity. I’ve signed up. Below are my questions: When is the panel 1. What key characteristics or elements make a song attractive and suitable for sync licensing opportunities?

    2. Could you share insights on the typical fee ranges or rate structures for different types of sync placements (e.g., film, TV, ads, streaming)?

    3. From a business standpoint, what materials, rights clearances, or preparations do you expect artists or producers to have ready before pitching a song for sync?

  73. Krypticsoundz

    Would be honored to appear virtually

  74. Joe

    Hi Chris. I’m really excited about this opportunity to learn more about the sync process and to hear from the people who actually source the music.
    I’m an indie rock / alt rock artist from the UK, and would really like to know if my kind of music is ever needed / requested?
    Many thanks for this opportunity, Joe, Asgard Raven.

  75. Robert Maitland

      Great to hear, Robert!

  76. Anthony M Buckner

    I’m writing again because my comment wasn’t listed here so I thought maybe it got deleted so I’m trying again. I write under the pen name Tony “Buck” Buckner. I am a songwriter with many years of honing my craft, taking lessons, reading what I can. I use a professional studio to produce my music and although I only have three songs streaming, I’m about to send another to the studio this month and I have a ready to produce library of 25+ songs that does not include songs I am currently working on. My drive is simple. To tell a story through the lyrics and music I write. I do this by making myself completely vulnerable to my self, past, spirit, and life and I do this unapologetically. I am hoping that I am considered and I look forward to hearing from you.
    Cheers
    Tony “Buck” Buckner

  78. Ian Escario

    Hi Chris,
    It’s generous of you to organise this panel at no cost for Indie artists, thank you. I’d be interested to learn about the latest regulations in AI generatedt music and AI artists and how this changes the ecosystem for sync in 2026.
    Looking forward to the panel.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Thanks Chris for the invite…Looking forward to the opportunity.

    I’m ready to attend. It sounds so reviving. I’m excited already.

  81. Quigley James Foran

    Hi Chris…Music is my life…my calling…my purpose for living on this Earth. I have been writing songs since I was twelve years old and I am still crafting them today. I have been in various bands since my teenage years. I am 74 years young. I believe music keeps me that way…young. Recently I sent a couple of tracks to an old co writer/band member friend of mine who orchestrated the songs and I believe with all that is within me that these two tracks could be something the music supervisors could use a movie track. One song was written for a friend who passed away early in life and would work well in a funeral scene. The second is a descriptive ballad of sorts that tells the story of a homeless bag lady…a single mom and a teenager hooked on drugs. I would very much like to join your webinar. Thank you and a happy and blessed 2026 to you and your family!

  82. Elnora Pittman

    I would love to join. I have written many songs, some that could work in tv and movie productions Let me know what I need to do!! Thanks

  83. AnaB

    Looking forward to be part of this amazing event!!

  84. Michael Kramer

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks so much, very interested in attending this panel!

    I’m coming from a background of being a military musician, was in the U.S. Army Blues for 10 and a half years – used my G.I. Bill to get an education in software development so that I could fund my art habit. I’ve found multiple interviews of you on YouTube and appreciate the way you talk about the sync industry – in particular the networking component, building out your contacts as a songwriter and as much as possible eliminate the middle man between your music and the music supervisors who can place your songs. You’ve mentioned generally how you made your own connections through attending events and conferences, and I’m generally curious to hear more from the panel about how they would be receptive to new professional connections (maybe direct connections? or as direct as possible) to indie artists looking to license their music.

    To this end I have two questions for the panel:

    1) Where do the panel “hang out” (i.e. in physical space, online etc.) and where do they go if they’re looking to make new professional connections to get access to indie artists music.

    2) I think I’m understanding correctly that getting a song licensed has to do with how well that song fits the context for which it’s being licensed, right? In other words, when a network decides to do a show or movie they must release to the production team the budget, and likely there’s some subset of that budget that can be allocated to licensing new music – and to this end, the producers of the show likely create some criteria for “what they’re looking for” in music they’re looking to license. And, if I understand correctly, the job of the music supervisor (i.e. our panel!) is to find that music and not overspend for the project. My question is, as an indie artist, how can I be the yoda (i.e. the guide who has the answer) if the music supervisor is Luke Skywalker (i.e. the hero in crisis). How can I “signal” to the music supervisors that I have what they need? What industry mechanisms are in place for me to leverage to this end?

    Thanks! And Very Respectfully,

    Michael

    2. Chris SD

      These are great questions, Michael, and we will definitely be hitting those during the panel. Looking forward to seeing you there!

  87. James Ray Summers

    Where is this being held? I would love the knowledge and I really like watching your videos. How can I sign up and thank you for the invite. I am currently getting my website together.

  88. KC Shoen aka “People Not Gathered”

    I am interested. Would like to be considered for this

  89. Sarah Prodan

    Thanks for the invitation! I’m interested.

  90. James Hall

    Chris, thanks for the invitation. Like some others I’ve licensed a lot of instrumental cues through libraries over many years but I have a large catalog of indie music that I’d love to get in front of music supervisors. Looking forward to learning more!

  91. Art Peterson

    Hi Chris, I would like to show up, is this a zoom meeting or in person? Wish I was in southern California, I’m in northern California, anyways I would like to attend, Art. By the way we’re #1 in cotati,

  92. Julius Schwing

    Thanks Chris, count me in!

    My main question would be: is there much love for avantgarde/experimental instrumental music in the this sphere? My music can be very abstract at times but I like to think not too alienating… can see it working perhaps somewhat like a Bird Man score but on guitar…

    Cheers, and greetings from Tasmania,
    Julius

  93. Ronnie B West

    Hey Chris, What’s good guy!? I’m Ronnie and I come from a musical background of about 66 years of experience. I taught myself music from a rubber band when I was around six years old. From that, I taught myself the concept of playing the guitar. I played my first guitar chord when I was the age of 7 years old. I had yet to own a guitar. I honed my skills by stopping by friends’ houses who owned guitars but they didn’t have an idea of how to play the guitar. I began showing them how to play their own guitar. I played my first gig at 13 years old and was paid a lumping amount of $2.75 and felt like a millionaire. That introduced the idea of getting paid for playing music to me. So through the years, I played with countless of musicians while yet developing my musical abilities. Now at 72 years old, I’m still enjoying and loving what I have developed through the years. I am now a producer with my own home studio who has a huge catalog of original tracks just waiting to be heard by music supervisors.

  94. Aaron Branford

    I have music I would love to hear in a movie

  95. Adria Lindquist

    Yes, I would love to participate. I am looking forward to hearing about all the details. It is hard to get licensed on your own. Thank you for the potential opportunity.

  96. Anonymous

    Hi there Chris, will we be getting another mail for the panel? Excited to attend!

  97. Eric

    Hey Chris, thanks for the invite!

  98. Gary Wills

    would love to be a part of this if possible

  99. Roger Schnur

    Hi Chris! My friend and I (for over 50 years) decided to finally start recording all of our songs. We’ve already got a few up on Spotify, YT, Amazon Music, and iTunes but we need that real push. Sounds like your offer can help us get there! Looking forward to learning more about the session.

  100. Laura Kelsey

    Hello, thanks for the invite! I am interested in attending and would like more details. A question I have would be how do the supervisors see AI fitting in – or not fitting in – to film and tv soundtracks? I’m trying not to be discouraged with the prevalence of AI music – will it just take over? Thanks!

  101. Rich Chambers

    Hi Chris,
    This sounds awesome! I would love to attend. Can you please send me the zoom link when it is available. Thanks so much, and Happy New Year to you!
    Cheers, Rich

  102. JOHNNY COLE MURDOCK

    Howdy, Im a USAF veteran and ever since I got out of the military I’ve been pursuing music and trying to learn as much as I can. Sync is what I really want to get into. Id love to go to this thing

  103. Darren Barclay

    Hello Chris,
    Thank you for your email and invitation. I would love to attend and connect with the music supervisors.

  104. Melissa Miller

    Hi! I’m definitely interested. I have so many songs that have yet to find their homes. Thank you for this invite!

  105. Melissa Miller

    Oh! My apologies on not adding a question in on my first comment. I just finished watching your video and heard that part. A Q I have is how do I get on the short list for music supervisors? I lived in Nashville for a decade plugging away writing and recording. I have a fairly large catalog but I got burned out pitching because like you said – it’s impersonal and is like trying to win the lottery. I want to be more strategic at developing relationships w the right music folks who will want to keep coming to me for more product for their projects!

  106. Christopher Charles Braun

    Hi Chris
    I’m excited to have the opportunity to meet with these high-powered people who might be interested in running with my music.
    I just received my first (humble) royalty check, so I’m pumped about furthering my songwriting career.
    Sincerely,
    Chris Braun
    Young Harris, GA

  107. Zoe FitzGerald Carter

    Hi Chris,
    I’m very interested in placing my music with Sync supervisors. I’m not exactly clear what the panel will offer other than general info on how the process works but I’m game. I’m about to put out my fourth album. Lyric-driven Americana with some jazz and blues.
    Thanks. I appreciate your enthusiasm!
    Zoe

  118. Alan Gruner

    Be good to hook up with you after making initial contact with you last year .

    1. Chris SD

      Hope to see you at the panel, Alan. It’s going to be so valuable for indie songwriters trying to figure out how to get their music out in the world in a much bigger way than they have been.

  119. DaveJ

    Sounds great, is there a market for retro sounding music and instrumentals?

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you very much for this kind offer. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share it with me, and I am very much looking forward to the follow-up

    Best

  124. Frank Wood

    Hi Chris, and Happy New Year! Count me in.

    I’m just getting into sync and am interested in things they are looking for and (maybe more importantly) things to avoid (i.e. common mistakes, gotchas, etc.).

    Thanks again!

    -Frank

  125. Jarrod

    I am definitely interested. Thank you for the invite to learn and connect with others involved in sync songwriting.

    Regards,
    Jarrod

  126. Steve

    Happy New Year Chris,

    Thanks, very interested in signing up for the panel.

  127. Kristian Lietzan

    Hey Chris! Looking forward to the panel. I’m an independent singer/songwriter from Spotsylvania, VA and I’m looking forward better opportunities to get my music to work for me. I’ve got a relatively large catalog of music and streaming/physical sales just don’t cut it anymore to supplement income when I’m not touring. Hoping that sync licensing could be just that opportunity! Looking forward to hearing from you & the panel. Do I just come back to the blog on Sunday? How do I sign up?

  128. Matt Vellenga

    Thank you so much Chris! I will be there!

  129. Wayne Schiferl

    Yeah Chris, ,
    All good stuff. I’m a former backstage pass member,,love your msgs,, I registered for the panel so I’ll see you there. At one time during backstage pass, you were going to do a recording workshop to become a better engineer/producer. I would love to sign up for that if you ever do that.
    Thanks,

  130. Golen Kazzian

    Hi Chris, Thanks for taking the initiative in setting up this opportunity. I’m interested in attending your event to find out more about the sync world, and to hopefully dispel some of the negative myths and/or realities of the music biz. I was signed to a sync publishing deal a little while ago, and submitted over 100 tunes in good faith, only to have my contract nullified and voided for some mysterious reason. In the meantime, they still have my tunes. So my question to the panel is this: What are the markers of a legitimate sync deal versus the “tells” of a bogus deal? There will always be song sharks in the music biz, so a good repellant is required. ~GK

  131. Carter Brady

    Hi Chris,

    Happy New Year! Really appreciate you sharing this opportunity. Confirming I just signed myself up and will be attending, looking forward to it!

    Best,
    Carter

  132. Ray Arceneaux

    Yes, I will be there
