ATLANTA MUSIC INDUSTRY VETERANS LAUNCH PLACEMENT MUSIC, LLC, A COMPANY SPECIALIZING IN LICENSING, CREATION AND PLACEMENT OF HIGH QUALITY MUSIC
November 5, 2009 – Atlanta music industry gurus Tammy Hurt and Elizabeth Elkins announce the creation of Placement Music, a company specializing in the licensing, creation and placement of high quality music in films, television, gaming, advertising and all other forms of media. The company website, www.placementmusic.com, launched in beta form October 26.
What makes Placement Music a stand out from every other music licensing firm is the quality, sound and integrity of the music the company creates, produces and represents. The company’s roster of award-winning songwriters, producers, engineers and musicians includes Nick DiDia, Peter Stroud, Russ-T Cobb, Kevin Spencer, Mark Dannells, Chris Rickwood and Tony Reyes. That team includes a GRAMMY-winning producer /engineer / mixer who has worked on some of the biggest rock records of the past decade (which have collectively sold in excess of 35 million records) as well as songwriters and musicians responsible for the songs and sounds on numerous hit albums from artists such as Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Sheryl Crow, Leona Lewis, Joss Stone, Janet Jackson and Avril Lavigne. The team also includes one of the video gaming industry’s most prolific music composers. Detailed bios are available on the Placement Music website.
Placement Music is proud to call Southern Tracks Recording Studios our home base. A studio of world renown, Southern Tracks has contributed to the sale of more than 40 million albums. Records by Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Stone Temple Pilots, Sugarland and Train have all been recorded at Southern Tracks.
In addition to recording such work-for-hire compositions, Placement Music supplies pre-cleared original music from artists including The Greater Vavoom, Michelle Malone, Jason Pittman, Mary Delaney and many more. Placements include The CW, CNN, FX, VH1, MTV, ABC, The WB, The N, The Discovery Channel, TNT, FOX and several independent films.
Placement Music plans a full-on public launch in the first quarter of 2010.
