We listen and select
We choose specific songs we believe belong in the catalogue. This is not a bulk-upload library.
Independent sync representation
Your songs deserve a sync rep. Not a new owner.
We pitch selected songs to the people choosing music for film, television, advertising and games. You keep your master, your composition copyright and your writer’s share.
Applications are closed. Join the waiting list to be notified when they reopen.
The arrangement
We get paid from the sync fees we bring in.
Not from owning your songs.
100%of your master stays yours
100%of your composition stays yours
100%of your writer’s share stays yours
0%to us on a sync you land yourself
You may be a fit if
Great songs matter. Clean rights get them licensed.
You do not need perfect paperwork to apply. You do need a clear path to permission from everyone involved.
Run the free one-stop self-auditA strong fit
- You control the master and composition, or can clear every other owner quickly.
- Your co-writers are known and the splits add up.
- The submitted recording and composition are not exclusive elsewhere.
- Any samples, performers and work-for-hire contributors are cleared in writing.
We do not accept retitled tracks. A rights issue is not always a rejection; sometimes it is simply the first thing we help you organise.
What changes
Your music stops being a file in a pile.
Uploading is easy. Knowing which song fits a brief, whether it can clear quickly, and how to present it to the right buyer is the actual work.
We make them ready
We organise rights, splits, metadata, clean files and instrumentals before a deadline appears.
We pitch and report
We match songs to briefs, respond at buyer speed and document the activity. No placement is promised.
Like a library or publisher except you keep your composition.
Like a label’s A&R except you keep your master.
Choose your level of commitment
Three ways to work with us. Start where you are comfortable.
The split improves when you commit specific songs. Your copyrights do not move on any tier.
The low-risk start
Non-Exclusive
60%of the sync fee to you
- Keep pitching the same songs elsewhere
- Keep all publishing administration
- We take nothing from placements you source
Best for: artists who want to see how we work before making a larger commitment.
Specific songs, more focus
Exclusive
70%of the sync fee to you
- Only the songs you choose are committed
- Everything else in your catalogue stays free
- You keep your publishing administration
Best for: artists ready to give selected songs one dedicated representative.
Representation plus administration
Exclusive + US Publishing
75%of the sync fee to you
- US publishing administration only
- You keep 80% of what we collect
- Administration is a service, not ownership
Best for: artists who want selected songs represented and registered in the US.
The split is the simple part. Read the commitment before you choose.

Term length, renewal, notice, reversion, approvals and the opportunity lock are set out separately so this page can stay useful.
Straight answers
What artists usually want to know first.
What does it cost to apply or join?
Nothing. There is no application fee, submission fee, catalogue fee or subscription. We are paid from the sync fees we bring in under the split you choose.
Do you promise placements or a minimum number of pitches?
No. A promise would not make the right project appear, and a pitch quota encourages bad submissions. We commit to selective pitching and documented activity, not invented certainty.
Am I signing my whole catalogue?
No. Representation is song by song. On either exclusive option, only the songs listed on your schedule are committed. Everything else remains free.
What if I get a sync on my own?
We take nothing. If you find it, book it and clear it yourself, it is your placement on every tier.
What if my paperwork is not organised yet?
Apply anyway if you know who the rights holders are. Missing split sheets or incomplete metadata can be fixed. Unknown owners, uncleared samples and conflicting exclusive agreements cannot be ignored.
Which tier should I choose?
If you are new to sync or do not know us yet, start non-exclusive. If you are unsure, choose “not sure” on the application. You will review the complete terms before anything is signed.
Your best three
Send the songs you can already see in a scene.
We would rather hear three focused choices than thirty uploads. Applying commits you to nothing, and no agreement is in force until you sign it.
The right song doesn’t need more noise. It needs the right scene.How we pitch · Verilux Music
