SMP Amsterdam

We are delighted to be the exclusive distributor in Belgium for the all new label SMP Production Music produced and composed by the superstar team behind the theme music for The Voice, Deal or No Deal, RTL Nieuws, and Splash. All SMP music is composed and produced in one of their 8 state-of-the-art recording studios and played by the best professional musicians and orchestras.

SMP consists of audio specialists and producers who each have their own specialty and background. The team is led by renowned composer and producer Martijn Schimmer. Martijn has won several prizes, including an ASCAP Film & Television Award for the theme tune of ‘The Voice’ in the USA and Buma Awards for his musical achievements in the Netherlands. For composing and producing internationally acclaimed music for drama series, films, live events, commercials and professional video, Martijn can rely on a top team. Mario, a guitar virtuoso with Columbian roots, can spice up any EDM tune with traditional flamenco; Daniël – aka The Beard – can handle all scripted shows and series by composing per storyline thus helping create the story you want to tell; Bert, a classically trained pianist, strives to craft beautiful, memorable melodies; tunesmith Nick delivers his signature range of musical colours and orchestral flair to every project he commits to; Bram, their youngest team member just fresh out of HKU University of Art, is Mr Smooth: a voice as sweet as honey and acoustic tunes that are dripping with emotion.

SMP’s ethos is entirely artist and composer focused with A&R diversity at its core. The catalogue will expand regularly with new tracks perfect for signature tunes, TV, documentaries and advertising.

Explore SMP Amsterdam, the music library packed with high-quality music in every genre and for every mood. From orchestral to modern, from cheerful to gloomy: always exactly the right emotion.

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.
