Listen "Creative Sync Licensing with Nelson K. Johnson"
Episode Synopsis
This week I'm interviewing Nelson K. Johnson, a music producer and songwriter for film and TV. His credits include Netflix, Fox, CBS, AllBlk, WeTV, Facebook, VH1, OWN, NICK + More.
Nelson teaches music creators the best practices to get their music on TV & in Film, using unique strategies and smart approaches that cut through the noise & increase placement opportunities. He's the music supervisor for "Deadly Sexy", the composer for seasons 1-3 of Monogamy, he wrote the theme song music for Notorious Queens, and he runs a film and TV sync licensing education program called the super sync squad to help people break into sync licensing. This conversation is packed with valuable business lessons.
Key Moments:
02:35 - Sync licensing is perfect for introverts
10:40 - Poetry, beats, and Tupac
17:13 - Trying, Experimenting, and Learning
21:45 - The difference between sync licensing and composing
29:34 - Hard lessons learned
