Welcome to Episode four of the Europe In Synch podcast.
This time we are talking with Emeline Marabelle, founder of Bellemeute Music Agency and program manager of the B2B Music Village at Les Arcs Film Festival.
We step into Emeline's world as she reveals how vital networking events can be for music pros and composers and that, at its core, the sync business is all about being human. We talk through the process of pitching to music supervisors, emphasizing the power of an artist's profile – remembering the importance of radio play, media exposure, and live gigs. She tells about the candid realities of track selection and how strong professional relationships can turn the tide in favour of a song making it to the final edit of a film or tv campaign. Emeline also imparts her vision of the future trends in music supervision. She tackles the expectations surrounding licensing fees and advises on cultivating an international presence for artists aiming to hit the sync jackpot.
This is an enlightening episode, covering the complexities of music licensing deals and the emotional journey that accompanies the rollercoaster ride of a successful music pitch.
We recorded this conversation at De Oosterpoort during Eurosonic Noorderslag conference in Groningen on 18.01.2024.
We hope you enjoy the episode and thank you for listening!
