Happy Ho-Ho-Holidays

With a flurry of new label signings, exciting new playlists and successful placements December’s been busy at Stock Music.

Even as we raise a festive toast in celebration of the year that’s been, we’re already looking forward to what’s to come.

Joël has labelled it a makeover, Dirk prefers the word transformation but to Brigitte, a true Potterhead, it will be more like a phoenix arising from its ashes. Yes, we’re cautiously excited… you’ll just need to wait till January 15th, 2019.

In the meantime, from all of us at Stock Music, we wish you a joyful festive break. Also, if you are sick of the same old festive tunes that the radio plays endlessly… tune into our 10 PERFECT ALTERNATIVE CHRISTMAS SONGS playlist.

A Very Merry Christmas & A Joyous 2019.

Joël, Dirk & Brigitte

Please note that offices are closed from 22/11/2018 till 02/01/2019.
As we are taking time off to spend the festive season with family and friends, we won’t be answering your emails as quickly as usual.
Happy ho-ho-holidays!

Music Submissions Guidelines

If you would like to submit your music for consideration for our music catalogue please pay attention to the following:

  • Do not call or email asking if it is okay to send music, we listen to everything that comes across our desk. Sometimes this takes a while, so please allow four to six weeks before querying if your music has been received and reviewed.
  • Our core focus is high-quality production music. If you care enough about your music that you want other people to pay attention to it, you need to make sure it stands out. We love new and exciting music. For your music to stand a better chance to get noticed, make sure you send us finished tracks NOT demos, unless they are brain-meltingly good.
  • You must own and control 100% of the copyright in both the composition and master recording. Sound-alikes and samples are not permitted.
  • We do not accept any music on a non-­exclusive basis. We act as the exclusive music publisher for the compositions in our library, promoting and representing them to our clients worldwide through a network of sub publishers.
  • Make sure you are not under an exclusive agreement with another publisher.
  • Please do NOT email mp3s as they will be deleted.
  • Please submit a streaming link ONLY for 5-8 songs using our contact form and any other info that you think is pertinent.

And last but not least: here is something to remember: the music library business is a long term journey. Chances are you will not become an overnight millionaire! Music libraries are all about growing a steady stream of long term income. Compare it to rolling a snowball, but a snowball that sometimes rolls quickly, sometimes slowly. Quick or slow, it still grows.

We know it is not a great sales pitch but it is the reality of the business. And it says something about the Stock Music philosophy: we don’t over-sell or make huge promises to you. We just work hard, do our utmost best and with that attitude we hope you will stay and grow with us.
