Inside Music Sync: What Songwriters Need to Know with Kourtney Kirkpatrick
Episode 8
Monday, 17 August, 2026
01:06 - Introduction 05:27 – "What are the main points you look at in a sync contract that writers should pay attention to?" A practical breakdown of fees, territories, media, usage, and the difference between all-in and master/publishing fees. 09:27 – "If you're a writer interested in film and TV, what's different about writing for sync?" Kourtney explains why emotion and mood often matter more than genre, and why broader lyrical concepts tend to work better against picture. 12:20 – "What is a sync brief, and how do you keep up with all the different music you're looking for?" A great behind-the-scenes look at how music supervisors communicate their needs and how sync teams interpret reference tracks to find songs that capture the same feeling without simply copying them. 18:10 – "What should a songwriter or publisher have in hand before pitching a song for sync?" Extremely useful for independent writers: final mixes, instrumentals, acapellas, stems when appropriate, and lyric sheets can make the difference when a supervisor needs something quickly.
