Creative Manager, Operations & Marketing for Palm Pictures: is looking for "radio-ready" songs in all styles for placement in their film and TV projects. Songs which have the best chance for placement have some sort of unique "thing," such as a guitar or piano riff, colorful vocal harmony, brisk and prominent snare drum pattern, or repetition of a key word in the chorus.

Independent Music Supervisor: is looking for "radio-ready" songs in all styles for a variety of film, TV and digital projects.
