Starting Your Career As A Musician

Record producers oversee the entire recording, production, mixing and mastering
process. In addition, they often choose the songs that will eventually be on an album.
Many are musicians or composers in their own right and have the ability to bring new
ideas to a record.

• Ad Agencies

Many radio and tv commercials, also known as “spots,” use jingles. Somebody has to
write those jingles. It might as well be you.

• Films, TV, Shows, Plays, etc.
  Musical Directors are usually the person who make the decision to license a song for
  a show, whether it be a film, tv show or Broadway extravaganza. They typically work for
  a production studio or through a management/talent agency. Check the credits at the end
  of films and tv show. Their names will be listed, but they tend to fly by pretty quick.
  Once you have some name, google them up to find their contact information.

It should be noted that licensing agreements can be tricky things with loads of details

and legalese. It’s best to hire an attorney who is familiar with licensing to help ensure you
get a good and fair deal.
