Music licensing and sync for independent creators

Encre coordinates licensing for music and media, connecting rights holders with projects that need them. Encre works only with rights it controls or is authorized to represent, and does not promise placements.

Common questions

Will Encre place my music in a film, show, or ad?

Encre cannot promise any placement. Opportunities depend on the project, the work, and the rights. Encre may identify selected projects for licensing, synchronization, and media placement.

Does Encre represent every catalog?

No. Encre represents only rights it controls or is authorized to represent, under a written agreement.

Is licensing separate from distribution?

Yes. You can distribute with Encre without opting into licensing, and any licensing arrangement is documented separately.
