Every TV show is different, of course, budgets vary and whatnot. But it’s not uncommon for a $10K placement to an emerging artist for a Netflix show. More on this in a minute.
Sync licensing is one of those hidden corners of the music industry that not too many people talk about. Everyone is so obsessed with Spotify and TikTok and Instagram and ticket sales. When, literally one sync placement can pay your entire year’s salary. That’s a hell of a lot of streams!
Artists just don’t understand how sync rights work. They think because they released the song on Spotify that they have the rights to get it synced. They may not.

Artists just don’t understand how sync rights work. They think because they released the song on Spotify that they have the rights to get it synced. They may not. Or they think because they co-wrote it with a friend, they have the rights. They may not. Or they think because they bought their beat (production) off of BeatStars and chopped it up to shit, they have the rights. They probably do not. Or they think, they think, they think, but they don’t KNOW. And if the music supervisor can’t be 10000% sure that the song they are placing in the episode won’t get the network SUED, they won’t place it. Because then they’ll be out of a job!

Sync or sync is a process where songs are combined with moving images – film, TV series, adverts, video games, trailers etc. Sync deals are usually arranged between a music publisher and a prospective client, which is normally a music supervisor or a film producer.
Music supervisors are the people responsible for sourcing music that can be used in a project. So, a music publisher’s job is to pitch your music to the relevant music supervisors and grant them a sync license if they do decide to use your music.
The sync licence gives someone the permission to use your composition in a moving picture, subject to contract regulations.
To begin the sync process, music has to be pitched to music supervisors. Bear in mind that music supervisors may not be hired by every single entertainment company; some companies opt to use one of their own employees to head the music team for a project. This is especially true of video game companies, as many employ their own sound designers or composers.
