On Sonicbids right now, we’ve got tons of licensing opportunities for artists to get their tunes to the masses. And we couldn’t be more proud of our artists who have landed these coveted slots and got their songs on MTV, NBC, and even video games like NHL 2k11 and Top Spin 4. So, without further ado, we’d like to show off some of their accomplishments:
La Resistance had their song “Shine on Where You Want” placed on the hit shows Cougar Town (ABC) and Mercy (NBC).
“Cougar Town has a lot of viewers so I was glad to get on that show. It will no doubt be the best royalty check I have ever gotten for a show. What I'm really hoping is that these two placements will open up more doors for my new record as far as getting interest from other placement companies and publishers, and hopefully get some of my songs featured more in TV shows and movies.” - Greg Summerlin, Vocalist/Guitarist of La Resistance
Beware Fashionable Women saw their song “Girls On Fire” make the cut on MTV's The Real World New Orleans.
“Digital sales definitely picked up after the placement, especially because MTV places links to Rhapsody for each song used on the show on their website. The best part of the placement is now being able to promote the band's music with an association of this type behind us. I'm hoping lead to even more opportunities in the future.” – Barak Shpiez, Vocalist/Guitarist of Beware Fashionable Women
Christian Larsen saw his hit “Breakwall” featured on the game Top Spin 4.
"While patience and great persistence is required, opportunities and rewards are available through Sonicbids. Licensing can be a difficult industry to break into, but Sonicbids can breach those barriers and connect you directly with decision makers. An investment of time and money is required, but in my specific case the return on investment has been lucrative." – Christian Larsen
Congrats, artists! Keep making great tunes, and we’ll keep providing sweet licensing opportunities.
