Episode show notes:

We interviewed Lars Deutsch on the podcast and the result is a masterclass in songwriting and sync licensing. Is your song telling a story?
This was our exclusive opportunity to pick the brain of a super successful songwriter and sync-licensing expert.

Lars Deutsch currently lives in L.A. and has worked with brands and artists like Adidas, Amazon, Brett Gelman (Stranger Things, The Other Guys), Budweiser, FOX, Ghostface Killah (Wu-Tang Clan), Katie Melua, Mercedes-Benz, and many more.
The two-time Emmy winner is self-recording his music, but also collaborating with other engineers, depending on the project.

He went from heavy metal guitarist, to singer, to songwriter, to a Masters in classical composition, to international performances of his classical works, to lecturing in composition and audio production to scoring three hundred films / commercials that have collected over one hundred awards.
His songs are in high demand and Lars is a producer at Built To Last Music, a company that features multiple Oscar nominees and Grammy winners.

Recent projects include: Stephen King’s “The Passenger”, “Future Proof” with Keke Palmer, a commercial with James Earle Jones (Darth Vader), plus live mixes and an Intel commercial with the Higher Brothers.
If you're interested in the sync licensing world and want to know how to get started in this industry, this is for you.

You'll learn how high the bar actually is when it comes to the quality of your music and what Lars does to keep his chops and creativity fresh.
And if just want to improve your songwriting skills for your own projects, this is your chance to learn from a true master of the craft.
