Music Licensing
Music Licensing Explained
Welcome to Joya Skye’s official licensing page. Understanding music licensing is crucial for using music legally and effectively in your projects. Here, we’ll break down what music licensing is, the various types available, how to choose the right type for your needs, and how to get started with licensing a song or soundtrack from Joya Skye’s collection.
What Is Music Licensing? Music licensing grants permission to use a piece of music in a specific manner. It ensures that songwriters and artists receive appropriate credit and compensation for their work. Whether you’re producing a film, TV show, advertisement, or any creative content, obtaining the correct license is essential to avoid legal issues.
Types of Music Licensing
Synchronization (Sync) License: This allows you to use music in synchronization with visual media, such as films, TV shows, or online videos.
Mechanical License: Required for reproducing music onto physical or digital media for distribution, like CDs, vinyl, or streaming platforms.
Master Use License: Grants the right to use a specific recorded version of a song.
Public Performance License: Needed when music is performed publicly, whether in live venues, on TV, or radio.
Print Rights License: Pertains to the use of sheet music or lyrical content in printed form.
Choosing the Right License for Your Project Selecting the correct type of license depends on how you intend to use the music:
Film & TV Productions: Sync licenses are necessary to pair music with your visual content.
Advertisements: Both sync and master use licenses may be needed to feature a specific song recording.
Digital Media: Whether for podcasts, YouTube videos, or apps, sync licenses apply when music is used with visuals.
Releases & Covers: A mechanical license allows you to reproduce and distribute new versions or covers of existing songs.
