Heather Gardner | Is My Song License Ready?

In this Master Class, you will learn the foundations of music licensing and how, as a songwriter or creator, you can ensure that your music is sync ready. From rights ownership to metadata to best pitching practices, attendees will walk away with an increased knowledge of what music supervisors are looking for when they source and license music for films, television, advertising, and beyond. Heather is the Head of Music Supervision + Licensing at Vapor Music/Long Division in Toronto, as well as the President of the Guild of Music Supervisors, Canada.

Her credits span television series, feature films, TV movies, advertising campaigns and video games that have been seen worldwide, including global Top 10 hit BET for Netflix (an adaptation of the Japanese manga Kakegurui), season 2 of Mistletoe Murders for Hallmark, and TIFF-premiering feature films Hell of a Summer (directed by Stranger Things’s Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk), Young Werther (dir. José Lourenço), and Paying For It (dir. Sook-Yin Lee). She is a multi-Canadian Sync Award winner and nominee.
