I just got word from composer Eddie Grey that he has landed yet another composing job, this time for a web series on Snapchat, called "Endless Summer" (season 2).
Besides Eddie adding another great credit to his resume, what's amazing about this job is that I didn't even realize Snapchat had this sort of content!
We live in perhaps one of the most amazing time ever for content creators. There is more content being created on more platforms, by more people, than ever before. The internet has opened up a whole new avenue for creating and releasing content and there are a ton of licensing opportunities for musicians online, in addition to all the traditional TV, Film & Advertising opportunities.
As a reminder, our latest course, “How To Write Tracks For TV In 60 Minutes Or Less”, created by composer Eddie Grey, is now available.
You'll save 50% off the full price if you purchase the course between now and Monday, February 25th.
I asked Eddie if he could share some idea on how to land deals and placements when first getting started and he ended up creating this awesome video on how to make a showreel (see below) in order to showcase your music when making new contacts.
One of the keys to "breaking in" to the licensing business is being able to present yourself the "right" way when you're reaching out to publishers, libraries, supervisors and so on.
The more I work in this industry and connect with different people that are successful, the more I'm convinced this is one of the things that tends to separate those who are able to create a career out of licensing and music, from those who are just hobbyists.
All of the courses Eddie has created for How To License Your Music Premium address this core idea, in one way or another. Both in terms of addressing how to compose music that works best for licensing opportunities and how to present yourself in a way that demonstrates you get the business and the demands of those working in it.
Our newest course addresses this from the standpoint of being able to write and create tracks efficiently in order to meet the demands of those working in the industry and land more placements, more frequently.
