music that goes the distance
Our roster is hand-picked to feature the best of the west - but before that can happen, we need you + your tracks to be ready to go! Submission dates will be posted on our website + our social media, so stay tuned.
working w/ a cross country sync agent, 101
-
100% Artist-Owned: You keep 100% ownership of your copyrights (Master/Publishing/whatever you represent), only allowing Cross Country to represent + license it for synchronization
Freedom of Representation: You can still sign to other non-exclusive agencies and music libraries
While we’d hate to see you go, you can terminate the agreement at any time
-
Cross Country uses DISCO.AC, the leading digital asset software + industry standard used by top networks and music supervisors
We meticulously tag your tracks + manage metadata for superior searchability based on the needs + recommendations of top-level music buyers
The “EPK” factor: We create and maintain Artist Pages w/ profile images and links to your social media
We create + regularly share curated DISCO playlists called The Cross Country Track List highlighting our roster based on mood/genre/season/vibe
-
We handle the heavy paperwork and legal scrutiny so you can stay in the studio, knowing your rights are fully protected
We navigate the fine print so you don’t accidentally sign away your rights or future royalties
Major deals require a clean “chain of title”; we take care of the heavy lifting so missing a signature never kills your deal
High-level broadcasters and brands often have insurance + liability requirements, which we cover for you
-
We’re not located in LA or NYC, but Cross Country is perfectly situated for regional representation for artists in Western Canada
We participate in listening sessions w/ music supervisors to highlight our roster, get on briefs, and stay on top of productions in the pipeline
We operate as your eyes + ears on the market so you can do what you do best: make music!
-
Our agency will never claim any back-end publishing royalties, and never requires payment of any kind from our artists. Our job is to get you paid.
Like a realtor, Cross Country only gets paid if we get you a deal. Meaning we take a percentage of the “sync fee” paid out by the production company/music buyer
Our contracts are vetted through Canadian entertainment lawyers for transparency and trust, so you can be confident signing on the dotted line
-
In a boutique agency like ours, we keep our roster curated + intentional, vs. lost in the noise in a massive library
We work 1-on-1 with you to hand-pick your sync-ready gems, and get to know the story behind your songs (in order to pitch with conviction)
When you work with us, you are supporting a local, woman-owned Canadian business that supports the local economy
