Sync licensing – or the placement of music in film, television, video games, and advertisements – can be a huge asset in an artist’s career, but the sync world is often difficult to navigate without the proper network, music supervisor-friendly tunes, and business acumen required.

Join us for this panel featuring several industry insiders – Chip Herter, Music Director for Deutsch (working with Taco Bell, Dr. Pepper, Lowes, and more); Fabian Halabou, freelance music supervisor (Nike, Best Buy, Apple); and Nicole Churchill, co-founder of Assemble Sound; as we discuss breaking into the world of sync licensing.

Immediately following the panel, Northern Colorado musicians will have the opportunity to apply for sync representation with Assemble Sound. Assemble Sound is headquartered in Detroit and offers Music Supervision services sourcing sounds from music providers across the globe, representing local composers for original compositions as well as music licensing efforts, and pitching songs made by independent artists for sync opportunities.

For the first time ever, Assemble Sound is opening their catalog to independent artists in the Northern Colorado region by way of partnership with The Music District.

Assemble Sound has worked with companies such as Hulu, Samsung, Apple, Red Bull, and others, and they have successfully placed songs on shows including Hulu’s Shrill, TBS’ The Last O.G., and the E!
