WanderSync
Transparent sync licensing marketplace — $500M+ market that runs on label relationships, publishers take 50%, LGBTQ+ content excluded from 'conservative market' placements, MLC compliance for digital mechanicals.
Community & LifestyleAbout
Sync licensing — placing music in film, TV, ads, games, and podcasts — is a $500M+ annual market that most independent artists cannot access because it runs entirely on label and publisher relationships. Getting a sync without a publisher means a buyer has to clear both master and publishing rights separately; a publisher simplifies this but takes 50% of the licensing fee permanently. Musicbed and Artlist offer sync catalogs but artists receive a fraction of what the platform charges the buyer, rates are set by the platform (not the artist), and LGBTQ+ content is regularly excluded from placements into conservative market projects. There is no documented history that an artist can point to — every negotiation starts from zero. WanderSync is a one-stop catalog where artists set their own rates, buyers can clear master and publishing in one transaction, every deal is documented in WanderAgent vault automatically, and LGBTQ+ content gets equal treatment. The MLC (Mechanical Licensing Collective) handles digital mechanical royalties — WanderSync integrates compliance from the start so artists don't have to navigate it separately.
