Music Vine

AMusic Vine is a high-end music licensing platform with a focus on quality over quantity. It works with a diverse community of talented producers, composers, bands, and songwriters, making their work available for its global user base of filmmakers and content creators to license for their productions. The license sales generate income for both its artists and Music Vine itself. For the talented and astute musician, music licensing is a highly exciting and prosperous venture. While having access to a catalog of great music is one thing, one of the biggest challenges for filmmakers is being able to find the right track. So it has invested a vast amount of time and care into building a platform that streamlines the search and discovery process. Its search tools, algorithms, and backend architecture represent some of the most advanced and innovative functionality in the music licensing industry. For those unfamiliar with music licensing, it is essentially the granting of permissions to individuals or organizations, enabling them to use music for certain purposes. These granted permissions are sold as licenses, generating ‘passive income’ for the owner of the music. All Music Vine licenses are ‘sync’ licenses, which relate specifically to the usage (or ‘synchronization’) of music within a media production, whether that be video, software, or audio content. Another characteristic of its licenses (common to almost all online music licensing companies) is that they are pre-cleared. This means that when an artist joins it, they agree that it can systematically issue licenses on their behalf for the agreed purposes, with no case-by-case consultation needed between it and them. For both customers and musicians, this provides a highly efficient and appealing system.
