Made it to the Grammys!

Post by VanderBoegh » Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:10 pm

Okay, well, my music wasn't nominated for any Grammys.... but it was used in the actual awards broadcast last week!

This track is one of the very first hip hop cues that I made 5 years ago and subsequently signed to a handful of non-exclusive libraries. The first three years of it's life didn't result in any placements, but the last two years have seen it show up on a handful of reality TV shows, and now the freakin' Grammys. Don't I feel all fancy!!

I put this little highlight reel of TuneSat detections together just for fun so you all can hear how it's been used:
