Sync Licensing Minute

In this episode I interview Elaine Ryan of Unicorn Sync & founder of Sync Music for a Change. ⁠Unicorn Sync⁠ is a boutique music licensing agency that offers a catalog of one-stop pop, r&b, hip hop, singer-songwriter, rock and latin music with high production value, created mainly by independent artists & producers. 

⁠Sync Music for a Change⁠: Before Unicorn Sync was born, we started Sync Music for a Change, a non-profit initiative where musicians write to their elected representatives about an issue and/or make donations to progressive causes in exchange for the opportunity to submit a song to a listening session with a music supervisor. Over the past year, music supervisors have generously donated an hour of their time to support action on climate change, police violence, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, supporting refugees in Ukraine and more.

⁠Elaine Ryan⁠ is a singer-songwriter, performing musician, writer, music licensing agency owner, and activist
