Pitch #2286
Emotive Music For Station 19. A Street Pitch guest is seeking songs for sync licensing. Please read the entire brief before submitting and pitch appropriately.
Seeking: Seeking songs for Season 7 of the popular television drama about firefighters. Lyrics like fire, flames, light it up, as well as less 'on the nose' lyrics about love, life, friendship, and regrets. All tempos and feels along the lines of the reference songs listed below. Male or Female vocals.
Genres: Indie Rock, Pop & Soul, and Singer-Songwriter songs.
References: Intimate ballads like "Where I First Found You" Forest Blakk, London Grammar "All My Love." Upbeat indie rock songs like "Wild" by Spoon, "Survivor" by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats, "Can't Talk Back" by Emily Bell, "Lions Roar" by Speak, Brother, "Be Like You" by Steve Forrest. Indie Pop like Lexxi Saal "Save Your Soul". Soulful like "The Fire" and "Higher" by Bishop Briggs, Son Little.
Songwriters, important: Songs submitted have to be cleared for sync licensing as per the following guidelines (no exceptions):
- You must own both your master (recordings) and 100% of your synchronization (publishing). If you do not...
- Then, all master owners, co-writer(s) or co-publisher(s), must sign our licensing agreement as well.
- Songs must be CLEARED: meaning if you have paid musicians and/or singers including background vocalists, you must have a signed 'work for hire' OR RELEASE form for each person involved in making your recording so that they have no further claim to the song. Please note that the producer who produced your recording should be able to help you acquire a work-for-hire agreement or release; however, in many cases, there may be a fee involved, particularly if the recording was purchased as a demo. No writers signed with major publishing companies with major administration deals.
- Submissions must be MASTER/BROADCAST QUALITY recordings. If we express interest, you will need to supply us with a mastered copy of both the song AND an instrumental track.
Pitch Follow-Up: If this guest expresses interest in your song you will be asked to sign an agreement for this project only (non-exclusive); with a 50%/50% split for both the master/sync licenses. Will not take publishing of the song so the publisher/writers will get all the performance income. If there is no upfront licensing fee, the 'guest' will take 50% of the publishing income for this placement only. The 'guest' will not take ownership of the copyright.
Pitch #2288
Giada Valenti. A Street Pitch guest and music publisher who has already generated income for SongU members is listening to songs for former BMG Europe recording artist Giada Valenti, originally from the beautiful and enchanting city of Venice, Italy. Giada has moved to Nashville and will be recording a Country album. She is currently writing with several artists and songwriters, and I have a unique opportunity to pitch songs to her.
What to Submit: I am listening to songs, any tempo, that will blend who she is as an artist and singer with Country music. Before submitting your songs, do your due diligence by visiting her website, checking out her bio, media, and music on her website (https://giadavalenti.com). Be sure to check out her PBS Television special "From Venice With Love" and listen to her music on YouTube and streaming platforms (https://shorturl.at/cERT4). Review from Joe Causi, WCBS 101.1FM New York: "Giada Valenti is truly one of today's greatest voices, with style of the old world charm. From the moment she begins you are blown away by a voice and style that is so rare with the artists of today."
I'm looking forward to hearing your great songs for Giada.
Pitch Follow-up: If this guest expresses interest in your song, you will be asked to sign a single song agreement, executable only with a major cut.
