In this workshop, Cindy from Finders Keepers Music will break down the essentials of music supervision and licensing, from choosing the right track to understanding rights, contracts, and costs. Perfect for filmmakers, producers, and creatives who want to feel confident bringing music into their work without the headaches.

Before launching Finders Keepers, Cindy spent over a decade at BMG, working across sync, licensing, and A&R. She worked with iconic artists including Nick Cave, Tears for Fears, and Labrinth, as well as a new generation of songwriters and producers, placing music in projects for major companies like BBC, Peloton, Netflix, and Marvel.
