SESAC hosted a panel titled “From Song to Sync: The Path to Placement” during the Nashville Film Festival. The event offered insight from successful music supervisors including Trygge Toven (Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Entourage), Chase Misenheimer (Associate Music Producer, McGarry/Bowen), Steven Vincent (Disney Channel), Russell Ziecker (Exec VP/Head of Television Music at Lionsgate) and Matt Mugford (Music Coordinator/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures). The expert panel discussed the path for a song to a sync license as well as negotiating budgets, deadlines, clearances, politics and client demands.
