This course was created as a necessity to the demands of the Licensing industry. At any time, you may find yourself juggling multiple projects and briefs. With deadlines fast approaching, the desire to succeed in the Licensing space can be overwhelming at times.

Grey says about his start “When I first started my journey in Licensing, i knew very early on that if I wanted to succeed, I would need to be better and be faster. The cream always rises to the top”.
For 5 years, Eddie has studied the Art of Mixing and Mastering and applied it to the context of Music Licensing. Over the course of time, he began to develop a method to not only be faster but to SOUND BETTER as well. He now wants to share this knowledge with you.

Grey says “You have to understand. I almost quit Music before getting into licensing. In many ways, it gave me a second chance at life. If I can help someone and inspire someone to be better and to achieve something worthy, then I want to do that. We are all part of a community and we must all help one another”. This is Grey’s way of giving back to an industry that has given so much to him.

For those of you who are newer to Licensing and Production, this course will prove to be invaluable to you.

In a recent interview Grey said, “I am most happy about what licensing has allowed to experience. Because of the opportunities Licensing has given me, I was able to sell half of my Music Library and my daughter has been able to go to an awesome Private school for 3 years now because of that. I’ve also been able to Compose for Trailers, T.V shows, Commercials…all of which I would have never thought I could do in the past. All of the music gear and sponsorships I have is directly linked to my work in Licensing.

Anyone who knows me, knows that before I got my big break, I almost quit Music. I was tired because I was not sleeping, frustrated because I thought Music Production was so hard, angry at not understanding Music Technology, and lonely because I did not know anyone in the Music Licensing world. I knew that if I was going to get out of those dark times, I was going to have to FOCUS and learn what it was I needed to learn so I could break through. Once you have the tools and skills to meet the challenge, you then have to network and build relationships. NO ONE DOES THIS ALONE”.
