Music Library
Project Description
Client Overview
Our client, a wedding filmmaker and former musician, recognized the challenges filmmakers face in sourcing the right music and the struggles of musicians in monetizing their work. To bridge this gap, they envisioned a curated music library representing select tracks from talented but lesser-known artists worldwide. The goal was to create a platform that fosters collaboration between filmmakers and musicians, simplifying the licensing process and ensuring fair compensation for artists.
