What is meant by exclusive? Can it appear on my album?

The best answer may be to keep your artist and your sync projects separate to each other. Or if you only want to do artist music then find a sync agent to represent your work.

That is definitely a valid approach. Songs for Film/TV are not always the same as those as artists. Lyrical contact has to be more universal for Film/TV and as an artist, you don't have to be as concerned with who you sound like (the infamous "a la").

I want to mention though that I work with 2 excellent Taxi-friendly exclusive libraries who let you do anything you want non-sync with the songs they sign.

Best,

This is great to know. As i have also wondered about this being an artist who wants to get his music out to the masses. So going exclusive I have always assumed you give up everytying. Good to know and i will be on the look out for libraries that offer similar perks.

I popped unto this topic because I had the same question more or less. If I release a song through a distributor without any strings attached to any publishing or admin, basically just distribute my music and that's it.......can I then sign it elsewhere in the sync world exclusively or non-exclusive?
But reading this post and seeing Casey's answers led to an answer I was already thinking about.
It is probably best to keep the two world's separate.
Artist Single, EP and CD releases and
Sync Music specifically for Sync.
