Four Year Update
Posted: Fri Dec 13, 2019 1:27 pm
Hey all
It will soon be 4yrs since I dipped my toe into the world of music licensing , just wanted to share where I am at now.
2016 - 87 cues produced - 1 Library Deal - Earnings £0
2017 - 70 cues produced - 2 Library Deals - Earnings - £50
2018 - 88 cues produced - 2 Library Deals - Earnings - £120
2019 - 50 cues produced - 2 Library Deals - Earnings - £720 ( mixture of Royalties - Sync Fees - Up front fees and blanket splits )
Total number of placements is now just over 30 from 295 cues in various Libraries.
Some of the main placements are here if anyone wants to listen : https://soundcloud.com/user-45178330/se ... eard-on-tv
I've had a few firsts this year. First cue used in a scripted drama and not just a reailty show which meant for the first time I got paid an up front sync fee which was a nice bonus. Added some new shows to my placement roster and some new countries as well. Also had music used on a show on Snapchat for the first time which I didn't even know was a thing.
Big shout out to my friends @Andygabrys and @Telefunkin that I made here on the forum who help keep me sane and still argue with me when I know I am right but have infinitely more muscial theory knowledge and playing chops than I ever will.
