I find cool music for brands to use in advertising and marketing campaigns, and then negotiate the rights to use it in all kinds of new media. I've worked with Macy's, American Eagle Outfitters, Nike, Chivas Regal, and others. I'm currently working at Amazon, and you might have seen some of my Kindle ads.

Honestly - unless you're Lady Gaga or the Rolling Stones, is there any money left in this industry?

Asked by zappaesque about 12 years ago

There's a great study on revenue streams for musicians:

http://money.futureofmusic.org/40-revenue-streams/

According to a few different sources (A2IM and Soundscan and a few others), indie record labels control between 30% to 40% of the business.  They're the largest segment.  

So I think yes, there's quite a bit of money left in this industry. 

My question is simple: HOW DO I DO WHAT YOU DO? Any advice would be much appreciated. (I live in Seattle too). Thank you!! :)

Perhaps not a great question for you, but if I wanted to use the sound from a TV series "playing in the background" of a scene, does this fall under fair use or is there a legal protocol? Since this falls under audio, is this a music supervisor duty?

Hi! If someone wanted to use a recording of Rosetta Tharpe singing “Down By The Riverside” would they have to get a license through whoever runs her estate? Or is it just public domain all around?

Hi there! I have a general question, could you give me an approximate rate of what one would get licensing an instrumental track (non exclusive) to a major running US TV show? Just a general number would help a lot here. Thank you!
