Broadcasting from Houston, Texas, Barry Coffing joins for a deep dive into the realities of music licensing, supervision, and artist development. With decades of experience as a songwriter, producer, performer, and founder of musicsupervisor.com and We Get Artists, Barry breaks down how he built a global licensing platform that now houses hundreds of thousands of tracks and services major film studios and television networks.

 

He shares the origin story of creating a searchable music database after struggling to find songs for indie films, eventually raising funding to build a powerful search engine that allows supervisors to pinpoint highly specific musical needs in seconds. Along the way, he explains why “good” songs often place more than “great” ones, how music must enhance a scene without distracting from dialogue, and why emotional universality in lyrics increases placement potential.

Barry pulls back the curtain on sync realities, from replacing major artists last minute on film soundtracks to navigating soundtrack buyouts, agency politics, and the importance of instrumental and alternate mixes. He emphasizes that success in sync is less about selling and more about solving creative problems quickly and professionally.

Beyond licensing, Barry highlights Sustainable Artists and Springboard Fest, where emerging talent receives mentorship from industry veterans and performance coaches. His message to artists is clear – increase your catalog, protect your rights, build your social presence, and treat every track like a lottery ticket with multiple pathways to win.
