I recently interviewed the songwriting team, Tracey and Vance Marino. Tracey and Vance have had hundreds of placements in both Film and Television. Last year, their song "Carnival Lights" was placed in the Disney /Touchstone Pictures film "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks, starring Miley Cyrus and Greg Kinnear. In August 2009, the Marino's were signed as composers for Harpo Productions, Oprah Winfrey's company.
They've had placements in the "Oprah Show," "Dr. Oz Show," and the "Nate Berkus Show." They are currently scoring their first short feature film in 3D with Director Tyrell Lloyd, and Producer Dawn W. Ford, who worked with George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg.
During our interview Tracy and Vance share their story of how they got involved in the licensing industry. They emphasize attending industry conferences and events as a key part of connecting with people in the industry. I learned a lot during our interview and you will to if you listen.
