Hi,
I came across your track on Broadjam and I really liked the cinematic build and the production quality. Your sound already feels sync-friendly, especially for film and ads
That said, I noticed a few small but critical gaps that could be holding this track, and your catalog, back from actual placements:

~Metadata Optimization -- Your track isn't fully tagged with industry-standard mood, energy, and scene descriptors that music supervisors use when filtering thousands of tracks.
~Sync-Ready Versions -- I didn't see instrumental, clean, or alternate mixes listed -- these are often required for TV/Film licensing consideration.
~Catalog Positioning -- Your profile and releases aren't fully optimized for music discovery algorithms, which means you're likely missing passive opportunities.
The good news is, these are fixable and can significantly improve your chances of playlisting, licensing, and placements.
I help artists turn their music into "one-stop", sync-ready catalogs that are professionally structured and positioned for opportunities.

If you're open, I can run a free quick audit of your Broadjam profile and show you:

• What's missing
• What supervisors typically look for
• How your current tracks can be improved for licensing
No pressure, just useful insight.
Would you be open to a quick chat? You can reply here or email me at belovedsteve760@gmail.com

thanks for the prompt, man. you're right....could have the best song in the world but if there aren't any descriptives, etc. it's going nowhere.

Hey Mike, I really appreciate you saying that, and you're absolutely right. A lot of great tracks never get heard simply because they aren't positioned in a way that supervisors can actually find them.
The good news is, your track already has the quality which honestly puts you ahead of most artists I come across. At this point, it's more about tightening the presentation and making sure everything is structured in a way that opens doors for licensing opportunities.

If you're open to it, I can run that quick audit I mentioned and outline where the biggest opportunities are in your catalog. From there, if it makes sense for you, I can also help you implement the improvements so everything is fully sync-ready and optimized.

Let me know, I can take a look and circle back shortly.

Best,
Steven

what do you charge?

Hey Mike,
Great question, and honestly, it really depends on the scope and quality of the catalog I'm working with. Some artists only need light optimization, while others benefit from a deeper sync ready restructuring.
To keep things flexible, I usually work in 3 phases:
Phase 1: Catalog Audit & Positioning ($115)
I run a full review of your catalog and identify:
Metadata gaps
Sync readiness issues
Version requirements (instrumentals, clean, alt mixes)
Discovery & visibility opportunities

You'll get a clear breakdown of what's working, what's missing, and where the biggest placement opportunities are.

Phase 2: Catalog Optimization & Sync Preparation ($250-$400)
This is where I help optimize:
Metadata & tagging
Track positioning
Catalog structure
Sync ready version planning
Platform optimization

Pricing here depends on catalog size and project depth.
Phase 3: Placement Positioning & Visibility Growth ($300-$600)
This phase focuses on:
Catalog positioning for licensing opportunities
Platform discovery optimization
Playlist & sync friendly positioning
Long term visibility strategy

Most artists start with Phase 1, since it gives them clarity before moving forward.

Based on what I've heard so far, I think your catalog has strong potential, which usually makes the process smoother.
If you'd like, I can start with the Phase 1 audit and take a closer look at your catalog.

Let me know and I'll get started.

Warm Regard,
Steven

Hey Mike, just wanted to follow up on my last message and see how you're doing. Hope everything's going well on your end.
I know these decisions sometimes take a little time, especially when you're thinking about your catalog and long-term goals. Whenever you're ready, I'm here and happy to move forward with the Phase 1 audit.
I still think your catalog has strong potential for sync and licensing with the right positioning.
Let me know your thoughts when you get a moment.

Best,
Steven

i'm singing, i think, well enough for demos, but can you bring the essence of the lyric out more? i'm singing this from personal experience.

Yes, that's definitely something I can do.
Since you're singing from personal experience, that's actually a huge advantage. What I'll focus on is bringing out the emotional weight behind the lyrics, subtle phrasing, dynamics, tone control, and delivery choices that make the listener feel what you felt when you wrote it.
We'll keep your authenticity intact, just refine the expression so the essence of the lyric really connects.
Let's dive into it.
Where do you communicate more easier? You can text me on WhatsApp: 63 975 756 6807

what's your price?

For a vocal performance focused on emotional delivery and bringing out the essence of your lyric, let's talk about my rate for the track via any of my contact, just responded to your email message a few minutes. check it out

That includes:

A fully recorded expressive lead vocal

2 revision passes if needed

Clean, properly delivered stems ready for mix

Since this song is personal to you, I'll approach it with care and intention, the goal isn't just to sing it well, but to translate the emotion so it connects immediately.

If that works for you, I'm ready to get started
