Submit a briefWhat’s Available
Custom Brief
Written to picture
Songs composed to your exact brief: scene description, genre, tempo, mood, duration. The more specific the brief, the better the result. Open to rough and final picture.
Full Stem Pack
Every element separated
Lead vocal, backing vocals, lead instrumental, rhythm section, and harmonic elements delivered separately. Ready for picture lock, re-edit, or regional alternate mixes.
One-Stop Licensing
Sync and master, one deal
Both composition and master rights cleared in a single agreement. No label. No separate publisher. Terms confirmed upfront before delivery, with nothing left to chase.
Alternate Mixes
Vocal-up, instrumental, stripped
Alternate versions delivered alongside the main track: instrumental, vocal-up, underscore, a cappella. Specific configurations available on request.
How It Works
Send the brief. Scene description, genre reference, mood, tempo, duration, territory, exclusivity requirements if you have them. Deadline is the most important detail. Include it and I’ll confirm whether it’s workable before committing. I won’t take a brief I can’t deliver on.
From there: I write or curate to picture, deliver a rough for approval, then provide final files with full stems once the direction is locked. Licensing terms are agreed before delivery. One-stop is available: both sync and master cleared in a single deal, with no separate rights holders to negotiate. If you need a catalogue search instead of a custom brief, that’s worth a conversation.
Who This Serves
- Music supervisors placing tracks for TV, film, and streaming platforms.
- Ad agencies and brand campaign teams looking for original composition or catalogue.
If you’re an indie artist looking to get your own music sync-ready, the sync licensing guide is the right starting point — or reach out directly and we can work through what your catalogue needs before it reaches a brief.
If you have a brief, send it through.
Yes. Send the brief directly: scene description, genre, tempo, mood, deadline, and territory or exclusivity requirements if you have them. The more detail, the better the fit. Open to direct briefs — send what you’re working on and I’ll confirm if it’s a fit.
Full stem separation as standard: lead vocal, backing vocals, lead instrumental, rhythm section (drums, bass), and harmonic elements (keys, guitar, synths). Additional splits (underscore, a cappella, stripped) available on request.
Yes. Both sync (composition) and master rights available to clear in a single deal. No separate label or publisher to negotiate. Terms are agreed upfront and confirmed before delivery.
Turnaround depends on the brief and your deadline. Include the deadline and I’ll confirm whether it’s workable before committing. I won’t take a brief I can’t deliver on.
Cinematic emotional pop, conceptual pop, dark pop, and atmospheric underscore are home territory, but the brief leads. If the scene needs something specific, that’s the starting point, not the genre list.
A sync licence covers the right to use the composition (the song itself — melody and lyrics) in your project. A master licence covers the specific recording. Most projects require both. One-stop licensing means a single deal clears both, with no separate label or publisher to negotiate with separately.
Fees vary depending on usage type, territory, exclusivity, and duration. I discuss terms directly on each brief so everything is confirmed before delivery, with no surprises after the track is placed.
About
I’m Reece, a songwriter, topliner, and producer based in Aotearoa New Zealand. I came up learning what makes songs work from the inside — and for sync, that means thinking about how a track behaves in a scene, not just how it sounds in isolation. A song that holds picture is doing something structurally different from one that doesn’t.
