Why I Created The Artist’s Sync Starter Kit to Help You Learn How to License Your Music
Let me say this loud for the artists in the back:
🔥 Talent is not the issue.💽 Your music isn’t the problem.The problem is that nobody handed you the playbook for sync licensing—until now.
What is Sync, and Why Should You Care?
Sync licensing is when your music is placed in TV shows, films, commercials, video games, trailers—you name it. It’s how artists like you earn passive income, grow their exposure, and take control of their careers without begging for streams or chasing clout.
But here’s the truth: sync is a business, and like any business, it has structure, language, contracts, and expectations.
That’s where most indie artists get stuck.
I Created The Artist’s Sync Starter Kit to Change That.
I’ve talked to too many artists who said:
“I don’t even know what metadata is.”“Do I need to copyright first?”“They asked if my song was one-stop and I froze.”
So I built a guide that breaks it all down—the same foundational steps I walk my Siren Syncs artists through when we get them ready to license their music.
Here’s What’s Inside the Kit:
✔️ How to make your song sync-friendly (structure, edits, and sound)✔️ What assets you need and how to organize them like a pro✔️ The legal side—copyrights, PROs, splits, and contracts✔️ A crash course in sync language so you sound like you belong in the room✔️ Branding basics to help you get noticed and build your sync resume
This is 77 pages of strategy, guidance, checklists, and boss-level clarity. No fluff. No gatekeeping. No confusion.
Sync Ain’t Luck—It’s Strategy.
If you're ready to license your music but don't know where to start, this is your sign.
🎯 This is for:
Independent artists with finished music and a dream
Women of color reclaiming their voice and their paper
Songwriters and producers who want placements, not just plays
Creatives who are building a catalog—and a legacy
If you’ve ever said “I just need someone to show me how to do this the right way”—this is that moment. Let this be the step that shifts everything.
You already have the voice. Let me help you speak the language.
