I'M MAKING A FILM AND NEED MUSIC...
Awesome! Drop me a line with some info about the project and let's figure it out!

I'M MAKING A SCHOOL PROJECT, CAN I USE YOUR MUSIC?
Yes, but please contact me to work out some details.

I'M STREAMING ON TWITCH, CAN I USE YOUR MUSIC?
You can as long as you are streaming content related to the music (eg. the game it comes from). You can also use it occasionally as background music as long as there is on-screen credit. You cannot use it as a fixture of your channel (eg. as intro/outro of your show or segments of it).

I'M MAKING A PODCAST, CAN i USE YOUR MUSIC?
You can as long as your content is related to the music (eg. talking about the game it comes from or reviewing the music itself). You can also use it occasionally as background music as long you credit it on your show notes. You cannot use it as a fixture of your podcast (eg. as intro/outro of your show or segments of it).

I'M MAKING A YOUTUBE VIDEO, CAN I USE YOUR MUSIC IN IT?

• ​If it is a cover/remix/live performance: YES—but you cannot monetize it!
• If it is a reaction to/critique of the music: YES
• If it is a review/let's play of a game the music comes from: YES
• If it is a video essay (educational/informational content): YES, under the following conditions: the music is in the background  and the audio includes additional commentary—also, please don't use more than one/two tracks, depending on the length. Feel free to contact me with details.

You can monetize all cases expect the first one (cover/remix/live)
