Barry Coffing has lived every corner of the music business, from opera scholarships to songwriting for Hollywood films, and now, innovating the licensing space. As founder of MusicSupervisor.com and WeGetArtists.com, Barry has reshaped how independent musicians connect with opportunities in film, TV, and beyond.

In this episode, Barry shares his journey from club gigs to scoring major placements, the evolution of his licensing platform, and why transparency and fairness for artists drive everything he builds.

We also dig into the challenges and possibilities of AI in music, why flaws can make music more human, and Barry’s powerful advice for creators: make the art you want, then fight like hell to share it.

Listen in for a mix of war stories, practical licensing wisdom, and fresh perspectives on how artists can thrive in today’s ever-changing industry.
