TESTIMONIALS

To assist with your music licensing needs, NARIP is pleased to present a panel discussion devoted to licensing, one of the most important but frequently least understood areas of the business. With the explosion of media outlets hungry for music, and ongoing needs for music in film and television, opportunities for licensing abound. But the competition is fierce, too, and without a clear understanding of the basics, you may be missing opportunities and leaving money on the table.

Join NARIP’s discussion with three of the industry’s most respected and experienced licensing experts (see detailed profiles below):

• Michelle Bayer, Founder, Shelly Bay Music
• Monica Corton, VP of Creative Affairs & Licensing, Next Decade Entertainment, Inc.
• Deborah Mannis-Gardner, Founder, DMG Clearances

• Basic skills on how to understand music publishing licensing vs. master licensing
• General information on how to administer your own publishing if no publisher will take you or your artists on as a client (i.e. affiliating with a PRO and the Harry Fox Agency)
• How to find licensing opportunities and increase the marketability of songs for different types of licensing environments
• General fee ranges for different types of licensing and how to negotiate the best rate

DEBORAH MANNIS-GARDNER

With over 17 years experience working in the music industry, Deborah Mannis-Gardner has cornered the market in music clearances.

After working for Diamond Time and RCA Records, and at the suggestion of clients who missed her availability, Deborah established her own music clearance company, DMG Clearances, Inc., in 1996. For the past 15 years Deborah has gained recognition not only in the music industry but also in the videogame, feature film, DVD, and television industries as well.

Deborah works with top labels such as Atlantic Records, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, EMI/Capitol Records, Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records, Bad Boy Records, Island Def Jam Recordings, Universal Records, and Warner Bros. Records, clearing samples for such renowned artists as John Legend, Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani, Damien Marley, Missy Elliot, Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G., and Kid Rock to name a few. DMG Clearances is known for having the ability to clear difficult copyrights from Led Zeppelin, Prince, AC/DC, and others, which has made DMG the leader in music clearances.

Deborah’s feature film music clearances include Martin Scorcese’s The Aviator, Curtis Hanson’s 8 Mile, In Her Shoes and Lucky You, The Coen Brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou, and Richard Linklater’s School Of Rock. Additionally, she has worked with major film companies such as New Line Cinema, Miramax, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Revolution Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures.

Some of DMG’s broadcast television special clearances include concerts by Yolanda Adams, Rod Stewart and Tina Turner.

DMG has always been forward thinking in terms of new business genres to enter into, such as the videogame industry. As the clearance agent for RockStar Games, Inc., she has obtained thousands of clearances for the music used in their well publicized videogames such as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas thru GTAIV, The Warriors, the Midnight Club series and EA’s Boogie Superstar. Deborah was also instrumental in helping to bring designer Marc Ecko into the world of videogames by clearing the music for Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. DMG has also worked as a consultant for other videogame companies as well, such as EA Entertainment and Activision and currently is working on a new video game for Genius Products.

And Deborah Mannis-Gardner is just getting started. With her happy clientele, impressive industry contacts, and stellar reputation, DMG Clearances, Inc. still has a few more corners to turn.

The company specializes in Fan Relationship Management and is partnered with hundreds of thousands of musicians who use the company’s digital marketing platform to manage their artist-to-fan communications. Artists manage all of their songs, videos, photos, show schedules, blogs, twitter on a single account at ReverbNation and syndicate this content across social networks, emails, instant messages, blogs and twitter using a proprietary set of technologies. Every interaction is measured by ReverbNation (and you get the data as well), and results in a deep understanding of fan demographics and behavior. ReverbNation provides many of traditional music marketing services including low cost digital distro, email management, street team functionality, but the company’s real value is its ability to take the aggregate influence of hundreds of thousands of artists and offer their services to brands that seek to access the very fan bases of these artists.

Melissa Love, Senior Director, SongFinder Honing her industry chops overseeing music licensing, clearance and reporting for Turner Broadcasting’s news and entertainment networks, Melissa joined songfinder in 2007 where she expanded her work to include projects in film, television, new media and gaming. Her work includes licensing for FX’s Fargo and Archer, Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, National Geographic Channel’s The Story of God, OWN’s Greenleaf and the independent film projects Diving Normal and The Stagecoach Bar: An American Crossroads. She is a member of Georgia Production Partners, Georgia Music Partners and is a Governor with the Atlanta Chapter of the Recording Academy (NARAS). Melissa served on the board of directors of Wilderness Works, a youth development agency serving homeless and disadvantaged children living primarily in metro Atlanta.   Juliett Rowe, Co-Executive Director, NARIP Atlanta, Moderator Juliett Rowe has spent her career working with indie and DIY musicians, whether writing about unknown artists for print, helping artists make strategic decisions regarding their art, or taking late night calls to offer words of encouragement.  In 2013, she became head of marketing and promotions for Atlanta indie record label Blood Drunk Records. With ten bands on its roster in various stages of recording and touring, Juliett developed album release plans, secured tour press, and elevated the label to become one of the strongest indie record labels in Atlanta. She realized that many people in the DIY music scene often went unnoticed and unrecognized for their hard work supporting artists, causing her to create the Atlanta Record Label Fest in 2015.  The event showcases people behind the scenes and serves indie record labels by creating an opportunity for networking and building community.  It also serves fans with cutting-edge musical artists, bridging gaps between genres and sub-cultures.  Its first year, the Atlanta Record Label Fest drew hundreds of people and brought together record labels and music fans.  The second year (2016) saw the event expanded to two days and included indie record labels from across the state of Georgia.In 2017 Juliett expanded her artist management and consulting business for independent and DIY artists with Panther Creek Artist Management. She also started working with Atlanta independent record label Madison Records (Orchard/Sony) on digital marketing and project management initiatives.  Juliett has combined her love of music and technology as a Co-Founder and Head of Client Relationships and Marketing with Bandskor, which is building a dashboard to help talent buyers manage and analyze band submissions. Juliett is active not only in the Atlanta music scene, but also with organizations like National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP.com) and the Atlanta Chapter of the Recording Academy. She understands the need for education, networking, and supporting fellow friends and artists. You can often find her at a show, or hanging out with bands waxing poetic on the value of having a Web site and an email list.
