UK Sync Music
Having spent time in both the music and movie arenas, the former as a recording artist and the latter as a film critic, I have always been passionate about great music being used on screen.
That's why I have created a UK Sync Music page on the official Chris Olson website, where filmmakers, music supervisors and others involved in the process can use my music in their productions.

Why Use Chris Olson for UK Sync Music
For filmmakers and music supervisors searching for the right UK sync music, I, Chris Olson, offer a unique blend of experience and artistry. Here’s why you should consider my work:
Twenty years. That’s how long I’ve been immersed in music writing and production, honing my craft. Those years have given me a deep understanding of what makes a song resonate, how to build a composition that truly connects. I’ve performed at events and music festivals, experiences that have taught me how to adapt my music to diverse audiences and high-profile settings.
My music spans a wide range of influences, from Britpop and indie rock to soft rock and folk. I’m not confined to one genre; I believe in creating music that fits the story, whatever that story may be. Tracks like "Dirty Summer" showcase my ability to craft memorable melodies and hooks, and I’m proud of the positive reviews my work has received.
Being based in the UK, my music naturally carries the sonic signature of British culture. If you're looking to capture the essence of a UK setting, my music can provide that authentic feel.
I’m also committed to professionalism. My home studio allows me to produce high-quality recordings, and I ensure my tracks are mastered by experienced sound engineers. I'm easily accessible online, and I welcome collaborations.
In a competitive sync licensing market, I offer a combination of experience, versatility, and genuine UK sound. I’m confident that my music can elevate your project and bring your vision to life.
FAQ About UK Sync Music
Sync music refers to the process of matching music with visual media, such as films, TV shows, advertisements, and video games. It involves licensing tracks to enhance the emotional impact of visual storytelling.
Sync licensing requires obtaining permission from the copyright holders of both the music composition (the song itself, usually owned by a publisher - in this case, me Chris Olson) and the sound recording (the specific recorded version, often owned by a record label or the artist - in this case, also me!). You need to secure a "sync license" for the composition and a "master license" for the recording.
Several factors impact the price of UK sync music, including:
-
The popularity of the song and artist
-
The length of the music used
-
The type of media (film, TV, commercial, etc.)
-
The territory where the media will be shown
-
The prominence of the music in the production
-
The budget of the production
-
A pre-cleared track is music that has already had its licensing rights secured, making it easier and faster to use in your project. All the songs you see available on the Chris Olson website are pre-cleared.
