ABOUT THE AUTHOR

As a professional Music Supervisor, Ron Proulx works every day with Television Producers and Filmmakers to find the right music for their productions.

He has worked on over 80 films and 350 television episodes, and licensed more than 1,200 songs over his 10-year career.

There¡¯s never been a more exciting time to have the world discover great music. Every year, new artists are introduced to new fans by way of a song in a movie or in television.

Every time a song appears in a television show, it generates income for songwriters and publishers.

If you¡¯ve read this far, you probably want to learn more about licensing music into film and television.

This guide will help you like it¡¯s helped hundreds of others.

It is written in everyday plain English and is not brain surgery. It is practical and to the point. It discusses everything one needs to know to successfully license their music into movies and television.

Certainly I would like to sell copies of this guide, but this is not the only reason that I have written it. Several years ago I was an artist with only vague ideas of how to get my songs into film and tv. Once I became a music supervisor and learned what it took to be successful in this area I realized that I had to write this guide to let others know what I had found out.

If you read this guide you will no longer be in the dark in this area of your career.

Best of luck, Ron Proulx

comments from the author
More acts are getting their break through film and tv licensing than ever before.

Even less mainstream genres of music - blues, jazz, world, folk, electronic - have a marketplace and fullfil a need somewhere in the hundreds of new television shows and movies that are produced every year.

Further, you probably know that when music is licensed for film and TV, that there are licensing fees paid, as well as future money from performing rights when the show is aired.

For songwriters and music publishers this is an extremely powerful economic lift.

Also, remember that over half of US movie sales (including home video) come from overseas. This guide explains how to increase the chances of your music getting picked up.
something to think about
You probably know at least one of The Rembrandts' songs: the theme song from the wildly successful TV series Friends.

The Rembrandts might have stayed a relatively unknown band if their management, their record company, or their publisher didn't try and get their songs licensed for film and television.

The success of Friends has made the writers of the theme from the show rich.

Licensing is simply the best way to increase revenue and exposure in a way that countless months and years of touring could never do for an artist and writer.
Every year, film and television producers spend several billion dollars writing and producing new programming. With thousands of television, cable and satellite stations ¡ª most broadcasting 24/7 ¡ª they simply have got to fill up that airtime and - as you see yourself when you watch movies and television - the use of music is neverending.

Whether it¡¯s comedy, drama, movies or kids¡¯ shows, the one thing all these programs have in common is that they all need and use music...and tons of it..

In my business, for a typical 13 episode season of a single 1/2 hour series, I might use 5 different songs, or over 60 songs total. And that¡¯s just one series!
