Woke up this morning to a Pond5 approval. Yayyy!! It was my 3rd submission. Now I have to keep them coming and submit to other sites. I plan on adding a 60 and 30 second version as well. (this was the track I shared with you all yesterday) https://s.disco.ac/cekawidrjmjq

Shoutout to @Tyree Newton for getting his first track approved on Pond5 after a rejection. A few weeks ago he was getting rejected and asking questions. Now he's got a placement-ready track live on a major library and already planning the 30 and 60 second edits. That's the process working exactly how it should. That's how it's done. Shoutout to @Joe Goldberger for showing up to Monday's Q&A ready to work. Came in with real questions about Disco, library research, exclusive deals, and how to actually build a contact list that means something. 55 years as a professional drummer and composer, brand new to sync, and already doing the homework most people skip. That kind of preparation is going to pay off fast. That's how it's done. Shoutout to @Virgil Cash for finishing 6 tracks last week, starting two more mixes this week, and still taking time to encourage everyone else in the Monday thread. Productive and community-minded at the same time. That's the standard. That's how it's done.

Three people stood out this week, not for having it all figured out, but for doing the work in public and keeping the conversation moving forward. @Tyree Newton took real action this week, submitting to AudioSparx and Pond5 and building the foundation that sync income is built on. He was also open about how draining the metadata grind is, and that honesty matters. The composers seeing real traction are sitting on 50-100+ tracks across multiple libraries, and Tyree is laying that groundwork right now. 🔥 @Adam Nelson came in, shared his music without hesitation, and jumped straight into a real conversation about Taxi, sync briefs, and what's actually marketable. @Tim Jeffcoat flagged your stomp/clap tracks as something that comes up on briefs repeatedly. That's exactly the kind of feedback worth acting on. Pull those out of mothballs. 🎯 @Virgil Cash finished 6 tracks last week, already has two mixes in progress this week, and still took time to encourage everyone else in the Monday thread. That's the standard. Productive and community-minded. 💪 Three different stages, three different approaches, all moving forward. Who's next? Drop what you're working on below. 👇

As of this morning, I've confirmed conversations with two incredible guests: JMO is VP of Creative at The Bus Music, a boutique Nashville-based music publishing company. He built his foundation in film/TV and digital operations at BMI and has secured sync placements with Netflix, Hulu, HBO, NBC, ABC, Google, and Nike for artists including Megan Thee Stallion and Mary J. Blige - with music appearing in Grey's Anatomy, The Rookie, Insecure, Cobra Kai, and hundreds more. Heather Evans is a prolific, award-winning singer/songwriter and sync educator who has placed her independent music on Netflix (First Kill, Love Is Blind), MTV (Teen Mom 2), NBC (La Brea promo), Disney, FOX (So You Think You Can Dance), and Nickelodeon - all without traditional representation. She's also the latest addition to the Glow Music Group team. More details coming soon.

I don't know genres. Please help me know what genre this is. Also let me know what you think - mood - where this would fit - if you think it needs more done to it or if i should scrap it and start something new. Can you tell that i'm a nervous wreck - trying something new here🫣 https://s.disco.ac/wdhgporjrbfx
