CD Baby Launches Music Sync Licensing Service to Independent Artists
CD Baby is partnering with music licensing company Rumblefish to launch a
sync licensing service for independent musicians. CD Baby artists now can
generate revenue by licensing their music for movies, TV shows, ads, video
games, apps, and YouTube.
Portland, OR (PRWEB) January 19, 2012
Over the past decade, independent artists have earned significant income from
traditional licensing opportunities in TV and film, but with YouTube quickly
becoming the most popular online music-discovery platform, there are countless
opportunities to license music on a much smaller scale.
"Sure, you can make a bundle by getting placement in a feature film,” said CD
Baby president Brian Felsen, “but you also can make money by getting your song
in 500 home movies of cats doing cartwheels. We are giving independent artists
the opportunity to do both. The equivalent of 9 years of video is uploaded to
YouTube everyday. That's a lot of video, and most of it could benefit from
including some great independent music."
CD Baby Sync Licensing, which launches today, is powered by Portland-based
Rumblefish, a leader in the music licensing industry. The program is free to all
CD Baby members. Artists can choose to opt in (or opt out) at anytime.
"CD Baby has always been a leader in independent music, and we're humbled to
plug their amazing catalog into the worlds of social media and traditional sync
licensing," said Rumblefish Founder and CEO Paul Anthony. "The opportunities in
sync licensing have never been bigger.”
In addition to being marketed for use in TV, movies and games, CD Baby
artists’ music will be included in a database of songs that YouTube allows
video-makers to choose from in their YouTube accounts.
"So if you or I upload a video of our birthday party or camping trip,” said
Felsen, “YouTube will allow us to throw some music in the background with just a
few clicks. You don't even have to edit the video - it's built into YouTube.
When a CD Baby artist's music is used, then that artist gets paid. If the video
goes viral, the artist gets paid a lot.”
YouTube also will analyze and identify videos that contain CD Baby music
prior to upload and pay royalties on those tracks as well. Artists will even get
paid for the videos they upload themselves.
“We're really excited about this new sync licensing partnership,” said Felsen,
“as it opens up new revenue streams for independent artists. Millions of people
are watching music videos - and videos that feature music - on YouTube every
day. Now artists will get paid for it.”
