In this video I talk about an oft-ignored way to make music income that is likely available to you in your own town: The local church. Churches need music directors, players, singers, sound people, and they often pay for all of this positions. Plus we talk about BMI/PRO Income and the new personal projects we both have going on. #churchmusic #musicroyalties #churchworship WORK WITH ME: Work directly with composer and producer Eric Copeland and his sync production company Positive Spin Songs to develop albums of music for pitching to sync licensing for TV, Film, Ads, and Gaming.

If you have watched this channel, especially my live videos you know the name “Wolfgang Wohrle.” Wolfgang is a German composer who recently had his largest quarterly PRO quarter with BMI directly and only from sync licensing. But Wolfgang didn’t go viral. He didn’t have a hit song. He spent years writing production music, starting in stock music libraries, got discovered by a BMG library, and now almost exactly 5 years later, his PRO royalties exceeded $50,000 in a single quarter. #musiclicensing #synclicensing #musicroyalties WORK WITH ME:Work directly with composer and producer Eric Copeland and his sync production company Positive Spin Songs to develop albums of music for pitching to sync licensing for TV, Film, Ads, and Gaming.

I just received my 2nd highest BMI check ever. But here’s the twist: Barely one single song payment made up more than 10% of it, and I didn't even own 100% of many of the songs I was paid.

In this in-depth conversation, successful concert composer and educator @saadhaddadmusic shares how composers actually build sustainable careers — not through shortcuts, but through long-term focus and thinking he calls the "Time Horizon." Saad also breaks down his two foundational pillars for compositional success: - Finding your true compositional voice - Building a strong, intentional network of contacts Together, these three elements form a realistic roadmap for composers navigating today’s classical and concert music world. We discuss: - Saad's personal journey to a successful concert composing - Whether making a living as a concert composer is still possible (or needed) - How long-term thinking and consistent work for years changes career outcomes - Why your musical voice matters - How network and relationships quietly shape real opportunities This interview is essential viewing for composers, educators, students, and anyone pursuing a serious career in composition.

Welcome to the first in a new series of interviews that are focused solely on music supervisors. These are the people who are directly in the path of any of us focused on a career in sync licensing. So I think it’s crucial that we find out how they work, what they look for, where they look first, where they look second…. And get ready for them all to have slightly (or wildly) different views on things like AI, exclusivity, perpetuity, and the way they go about their job of finding music. Today I talk to Jody Friedman who has secured over 10,000 placements, licensing music to media, including theme songs, blockbuster movie trailers, globally recognized brands, and more. #musiclicensing #synclicensing #musicsupervisor WORK WITH ME:Work directly with composer and producer Eric Copeland to develop albums of music for pitching to sync licensing for TV, Film, Ads, and Gaming.
