S2 Ep12: The Sync Report | Josh Nicotra

Find out how highly Josh rates landing a music sync and how much benefit this can bring to any musician, whatever stage of their career, but also how it is important to be selective.

Lucky Man Management & Brushfire signing ALO had their song Strange Days synced in Smallville. As Josh says “…the right piece of music in the right piece of content… can be career changing”. Hear how Jack Johnson’s music was used in the Curious George movie (and soundtrack) and how it helped to propel Jack to even greater success.

Why is Josh is so selective about who he signs to the Brushfire roster? How does Jack Johnson remain fresh sounding on every record he releases?

Jack Johnson’s eighth studio album “Meet The Moonlight” is out now and he is on tour across the US, Australia & NZ in 2022. Hear how much Jack Johnson supports local charities at all of his shows and how focussed Jack and his family are on environmental change for good.

Plus don’t miss Josh revealing how his grandmother created "the locomotion" dance, what it was like meeting Lou Reed when he was 8 years old and why he feels so lucky.

Stay tuned for the sync session as we listen to music submissions for a scene in indie filmmaker Kevin Sharpley’s upcoming feature film “Deadly Night Out”. You’ll hear music from Tim Qualls, Soulah the Legend and Nomae.
