Hello Patrick, thank you for taking the time to listen! I am mostly focusing on sync licensing right now.

Hey Dianne,
That's great to hear. Honestly, that already puts you ahead of a lot of independent artists I talk with.
One thing I've noticed after reviewing a lot of indie catalogs is that many artists intend for their music to land in sync, but the catalog itself ain't always structured in a way that supervisors or libraries typically respond to. Small things like metadata structure, alternate versions, edit points, and how the track energy develops can make a big difference in whether a song actually gets considered.
When I listened to "Dead Moon," it definitely has a cinematic mood that could live in the right type of scene. Out of curiosity, have you already been pitching your catalog to libraries or supervisors, or are you still building the catalog before going that route?

I pitch songs occasionally, when I see an opportunity that suits a song.

Hey Dianne,

That actually makes sense, and a lot of independent artists approach it the same way, waiting for an opportunity and then matching a song to it.
The tricky part with sync though is that music supervisors and libraries usually look for catalogs that are already structured and "sync-ready" before they even consider pitching the tracks forward. A song can be great musically, but if the catalog around it isn't set up the way they expect, it often gets overlooked.
When I listened to Dead Moon, it definitely has a tone that could work in film or TV, but what usually determines whether a track like that actually gets traction is how the catalog and assets around the song are prepared for pitching.
Out of curiosity, how large is your catalog right now? Are you mainly working with a handful of songs, or do you have a bigger body of work you're trying to position for sync?

Dianne...we haven't made contact for several years and I have recently written a song for a woman to sing...I'm not sure how to do this since i've never done this before. I'll soon be at the studio to record a couple of songs and the have suggested a local studio singer. If I have them put a voiceless track of the music, would you like to hear it? Possibly see what your great style could do with it? Let me know..I'm at c.j.miller9019@att.net
