V • Synch Licensing<br />
Having your music licensed for use with a moving image is also a great way to make<br />
money with your music. Both big and small film/television companies are looking<br />
to license music from independent artists, as the costs associated aren’t typically<br />
as high as when licensing from a major publisher. There are many new artists and<br />
bands who have “literally” blown up overnight, courtesy of a well placed song<br />
in a movie, television show, or commercial. This same rule applies to video games<br />
as well, with companies such as EA Sports and 2K Sports often using “real music”<br />
in their video games, including the Madden franchise and the NBA2K franchise,<br />
respectfully.<br />
One company that is known to help with licensing your music to different<br />
projects is Taxi. If you sign a publishing deal, then your publisher will often<br />
actively seek licensing opportunities on your behalf, utilizing their connections<br />
within the entertainment industry and beyond.<br />
