Exclusive representation means that we are the only licensing agency that can represent and license the tracks you have signed with us during the term of the agreement. Non-Exclusive representation means that you can have the same tracks represented and licensed by various music licensing agencies during the same term. You maintain full ownership to the copyright of your music whether you choose for your music to be represented Exclusively or Non-Exclusively. Please read below for more details.

We are getting more and more requests for exclusively represented music so your chances of getting a license if your music is represented exclusively by us is much higher. If your music is exclusively represented by us then your music will be available in both our exclusive catalog as well as our non-exclusive catalog. Many higher end advertising and TV projects require exclusively represented music. We also put an extra effort into promoting our exclusive artists.

Yes. Absolutely we only represent your music for licensing purposes. We only need the rights needed to license and place your music in TV, Film and other media licensing opportunities. You maintain full ownership of your music.

Absolutely not. Unlike some other music licensing services our representation services are free of charge. We are here to make you money, not cost you money.

Due to the inherent incompatibilities Content ID fingerprinting has with music licensing; we are working towards offering our clients a 100% claim-free experience. We are avoiding to represent music in the Content ID program, and educating our artists to understand the associated implications. To learn more about Content ID Click Here

Absolutely. You are free to sell/stream your music in any manner for consumer listening purposes no matter if you are on an exclusive or non-exclusive contract with us. We only deal with licensing music for commercial use.

Both vocal and instrumental music from all genres. As long as it's good quality and stylistically appealing to our tastes. We love unique indie artist music that's authentic to the genre that has been carefully crafted. We don't like generic music that was made quickly without a healthy dose of passion, originality and attention to detail.

You will hear back from us but you have to be patient. It can take a few days, a few weeks or even a month until your track is reviewed. Once accepted, please don't contact us regularly to ask if your music has been licensed as you will be sent a statement when your payment is sent to you after at the end of the current pay period.

We make artist payments every February and August if there is an amount owing over $50. Payments and statements are sent via Paypal, so please make sure you have listed your Paypal email in your profile.

1. Email us and to let us know you would like to remove your music and we’ll make sure you have fulfilled your contract obligations and send you a Termination Form to sign and mail to us.

2. Send us the signed Termination Form that officially states that you would like to terminate the contract and remove your tracks from our library.

Please note that our agreement is a three year term, so please make sure the term has passed before attempting to remove your music.

We will issue a license to the client to non-exclusively use your music. All license earnings collected by us will then be split 50/50 with you.

We split all earnings from the placements we make with you 50/50. This includes the front end license fee and the backend peformance royalties. (Please note that PRO royalties are paid to you by your PRO and not by us). When we receive payment for a license we will pay it out after the current pay period ends and your PRO will pay you your performance royalties.

You will be notified of placements in the form of a statement that will be sent to you with payment for your licenses. We often don't receive cue sheets from clients until well after the production first broadcasted. Please be patient as your statement and payment will be sent shortly after the end of the payment period in which the license was made, as long as your balance is over $50, other wise it will be rolled over to the next period.
