You will get a sync consultation for your music catalog
Project details
I spent 13 years inside Sony Music Publishing evaluating sync placements from the buyer's side — deciding which songs got pitched, which got placed, and why. That publisher-side perspective is rare among consultants who work with independent artists. This session gives you an honest, practical read on how your music is likely to be evaluated for sync, along with concrete steps to improve your positioning, metadata, and pitching approach.

About Holly
Music Rights & Licensing Advisor | 13 Years at Sony Music Publishing
Acton, United States - 11:25 pm local time
Unlike many music consultants who work primarily from the artist or supervisor side, my experience comes from the publisher side of the business, where licensing requests are reviewed, negotiated, approved, and administered.
I help companies, filmmakers, brands, artists, songwriters, catalog owners, attorneys, and investors navigate the practical realities of music licensing, rights management, music publishing, and rights clearance.
My expertise includes:
- Sync licensing strategy and deal structuring
- Music rights research and copyright ownership analysis
- Rights clearance and licensing guidance
- Music publishing economics and licensing workflows
- Catalog evaluation and due diligence support
- Licensing guidance for film, television, advertising, digital media, and branded content
- Publisher-side perspective on negotiations, approvals, and music industry custom and practice
Having spent more than a decade working inside Sony Music Publishing, I understand how licensing requests are evaluated, where clearances get delayed, how rights holders approach negotiations, and what information is needed to move deals forward efficiently.
Representative experience includes licensing and clearance work involving The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Chappell Roan, and many other major catalogs, supporting projects for clients including Paramount Pictures, NBC, A24, and leading agencies and production companies.
Services available through Upwork include:
- Music licensing and sync strategy consultations
- Copyright ownership and rights holder research
- Sync readiness reviews for artists, songwriters, and catalogs
- Licensing guidance for film, TV, advertising, and digital content
- Music industry and catalog due diligence support
- Entertainment litigation support and licensing context for attorneys
In addition to consultations, I'm available for scoped project work including copyright ownership research, rights holder identification, sync readiness reviews, and catalog due diligence support. Project scope and pricing discussed upon inquiry.
Please note: I am not an attorney and do not provide legal advice. Services are based on industry experience and practical expertise in music licensing, publishing, and rights management.
