several licensing mediums like film and television. Our search database is like
no other out there. Licensors and Music Supervisors can find the best song for
their project by simply entering the genre and key words requested for the scene
in their project. For instance, if the film is a teen Holiday love story, then
they might select rock and then type in Christmas or snow or December or Holiday
or Love etc... All the songs in our database that have any of those key words
will be found. Since we are a Co-Publisher, we require the artist to sign a
simple agreement alowing us to facilitate the license on their behalf. The copyright
