Sound with
a purpose.

I'm Adrian. I make music for screen, record voice-overs, present on camera, and spend a fair bit of time figuring out how this business actually works. That's what you'll find here.

Got a beat.
Need a mix?

I can help you get the full song across the finish line too. Mixing and mastering are separate services, and you don't need to have bought a beat from me.

Music Registration Kit

Register your music correctly

SAMRO, CAPASSO, SAMPRA and the other parts of registering your music. It can get confusing quickly.

Music Publisher Discovery

Find publishers that fit your music

Research and assess potential publishing opportunities before you pitch your tracks.

Know where your
royalties come from.

If you're releasing music in South Africa, it's worth knowing what SAMRO, CAPASSO, SAMPRA and RiSA actually do. I've put together a free place to start.

There are receipts. And quite a few lessons.

A couple of things I have learnt from sync placements, music royalties and figuring this business out as I go. I have started writing those down, with videos and statement examples where they make sense.
