RESOURCES FOR CREATIVES
At this time, Nashville In Sync Membership is only for professionals working on the business side of sync licensing and pitching.
​
We are not currently accepting songwriters, producers, or creatives as Members.
​​
However, we do host events and panels throughout the year for creatives, so please follow us on socials to stay up to date with these opportunities.
Below is a list of resources that we are constantly updating for those of you looking to get more involved in sync!
​
Also, one of your best recourses is OUR MEMBERSHIP. Look to who is on our Board of Directors, the companies they work at, the artists and songwriters they work with, and BEGIN THERE. Do your reserach. Reach out with intention.
GENERAL RESOURCES
H.O.M.E.
H.O.M.E. is an amazing resource locally, with resources for members, a space to work and write, and also monthly SYNC MEETUPS - they are FREE and are the last Wednesday of each month!
​THE GUILD OF MUSIC SUPERVISORS
The Guild of Music Supervisors is a great resource to better understand the world of sync.
They have a great podcast, with episodes on writing for sync, pitching for sync, and more.
​2INDIE
Founded by two independent songwriters, this company helps emerging writers and artists learn about sync, about building yourself as a business, and about how to find a sync rep company.
You can download a free copy of their E-BOOK to help you get started. They also have a great podcast, The Music Licensing Podcast, that has featured many NIS Members as guest speakers.
SELLING THE SOUNDTRACK PODCAST
This is an independent podcast hosted by songwriter and artist Tiffany Williams, where they break down how to get your music into sync. Some NIS Members have been guests on the podcast.
