HOW TO GET YOUR SONGS ON TV & FILM

The music licensing business is the most lucrative and accessible business for independent artists. Songwriters make more money by licensing their songs than performing live, signing a record deal and getting commercial radio airplay combined. When you enter a We Are Listening song contest, you're getting your words and music in front of decision makers at EMI, Universal, Sony/BMG, Live Nation, The Agency Group, Paramount, Nettwerk, CBS, Yahoo and more. And as a winner, you can be sure that we will place your songs on prime time shows on MTV, E!, Lifetime, Oxygen and more. Learn more about what a We Are Listening contest can do
