Music Licensing Consultant

I have worked at various television networks in their music departments working closely with music supervisors, producers and music editors for in-show music uses as well as on-air promo music uses.  I have provided valuable creative input which has placed both commercial and library music in various projects.  I have also aided in music searches and have been able to consistently provide great music for various projects on a very short timetable.  I have also worked extensively in the sync licensing process; sending out quote requests, obtaining licenses from the publishers and labels, and working with accounts payable and business affairs departments to ensure that the licensing process has been completed successfully.  I am also very familiar with the inner workings on both the label side and the publishing side as well as the music business as a whole.  I love attending artist showcases and hearing the latest talent as they are introduced, and hearing the potential for upcoming projects.  I also enjoy networking with network executives, creative managers and music supervisors to be able to establish mutually beneficial career relationships. I love opportunities to provide creative input and feel I have a great ear for finding the perfect music for any given project.
