Sync licensing is an effective way for artists and musicians to generate income, expand their audience, and enhance their brand presence. Here are some key benefits of this powerful opportunity:

1. Revenue Generation
Sync licensing allows artists and musicians to earn income through licensing fees and royalties. When a song is licensed for use in a TV show, movie, advertisement, or other media, the artist receives payment for their music. In addition to the initial sync licensing fee an artist receives, ongoing royalties can provide a steady stream of income.

2. Increased Exposure
Having music featured in popular media can introduce an artist’s work to a broader audience. For instance, when a track is used in a well-known TV show, film, or commercial, it exposes the artist to new listeners who may not have discovered their music otherwise.

3. Brand Association
Sync licensing can create positive brand associations. When an artist’s music is featured in a commercial for a reputable or widely recognized brand, it connects their sound with the brand’s identity. This association can enhance the artist’s image and appeal to fans of the brand.

4. Networking Opportunities
Collaborating with music supervisors, licensing agents, and other industry professionals can open doors for further opportunities. These connections help artists build valuable relationships within the music industry, paving the way for future projects and partnerships. Sync licensing offers artists and musicians a multifaceted approach to advancing their careers. By generating revenue, expanding exposure, and establishing brand associations, sync licensing serves as a valuable tool for building a sustainable and successful music career.

The fee is small but it helps our clients focus on submitting the right music, for the right opportunity, for the best chance at success.

While we guarantee that your song will be reviewed, the track remains 100% your intellectual property unless you choose to sign a contract with the publisher. There is no obligation to accept any contract offered, and any agreements will be handled directly between you and the provider if your song is selected.

There is no limit to how many projects you can submit to. However, please keep in mind that you only get one shot to make a first impression, so make sure you are submitting your best music that is most likely to match what they are looking for.

DropDay is a music distribution platform that provides sync licensing placement opportunities for independent artists, producers, composers, and labels.

DropDay helps artists secure sync licenses for their music in film, television, commercials, and other media. This includes identifying and securing placement opportunities, brokering deals, and collecting royalty payments on behalf of the artists.

DropDay also works with brands and music supervisors directly to find the right music for their projects.

DropDay connects artists with music supervisors—key decision-makers responsible for selecting and licensing music for TV shows and commercials. By promoting an artist’s music directly to these professionals, DropDay helps increase the likelihood of securing placements in TV programming and advertisements.

Through our services, DropDay simplifies the complexities of music licensing, providing artists with valuable tools and opportunities to position their music for selection. However, it’s important to note that final decisions regarding music usage rest with the music supervisors and producers of the respective projects. While DropDay enhances exposure and opportunities, music placement cannot be guaranteed.

The number of submissions for a particular listing has no impact on the selection process. Each submission is reviewed based solely on its quality and suitability for the opportunity, ensuring that the best and most appropriate music is always considered and placed.

Rest assured, your music will be evaluated on its merit, not against the volume of other entries.

When you submit for a sync opportunity all of your contact information will be forwarded to the music supervisor along with your music. If, and only if your music is chosen, will you hear from us or the music supervisor directly. Please make sure that your contact information is updated and valid when you submit for a project.

Artists get paid when their songs are played in media content such as movies, tv shows, or even on other streaming platforms. The payment is made through a performance rights organization (PRO), such as ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC in the United States. These organizations collect performance royalties on behalf of songwriters, composers, and music publishers and distribute them to their members. The amount of money that an artist earns from television plays depends on many factors, including the specific PRO, the country in which the broadcast takes place, the type of television program, and the terms of the artist’s agreement with the PRO. In general, tv sync placements can generate significant income for artists and can be an important part of their overall revenue stream.

There are several PROs around the world, each with different requirements and processes for registration. Some of the most well-known PROs include ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC in the United States, PRS for Music in the UK, and SOCAN in Canada.
