I have dozens of partners, and literally hundreds of players and singers at my disposal to make great music for music libraries, music supervisors, sync agents, and other clients.

But guess what? That’s not enough. I need more.

Is It You?

<p>So how do I make hundreds of songs, turning in albums per week to multiple libraries (and soon my own), have endless ideas, AND have a life with weekends and nights off?</p>


<p>Oh yeah, and I have FUN doing it. It’s not a job, it’s an adventure, but it’s really, really, fun and creative adventure.</p>


<p>Well, that’s what this podcast is all about.</p>


<p>It’s not all about me (...

I learned some very important things about sync licensing this week, and since creating music that is useful for sync is my main focus, I wanted to talk about it today.

I’ll be answering some questions I had, some wins, some losses, and the general direction things seem to be going both with sync income and with my sync career, and my own music making.

Can this be real?

Could it possibly be that I will get 100 songs pitched and or placed in sync libraries in May alone in 2025?

Well, I’m glad you asked.

This episode celebrates the release of “The Windmills of My Mind”, the newest release by Player A Jazz.

So in this podcast, I breakdown how I produced it, released it (and the drama surrounding that), and how I am marketing it to the world.

(You can REALLY help by streaming the song ALL THE WAY THROUGH on your favor...

It’s a skill you likely already have, that can easily grow as you are paid dollars NOW (not in the future from sync or royalties) and it’s something that you can do with music to support your family for years if not decades to come.

In this introduction I’m going to give you every step you’ll need to start and build a successful music production business, and start and KEEP making a living income from music.

Yes, this is the thing that we all have wanted since we first played our piano or guitar or DAW for the first time and said…”Hey, I can make music…could this be my job?’

And I say, “Well maybe…”

And you say…”So you’re saying there’s a chance!!!!”

In this podcast I go step by step how I go about working on an album (and this could be for sync or for an artist releasing new material) but then I’ll focus a little more on sync when we get to the finishing and pitching part.
