The Long Game

Howling Music is a boutique music library with global distribution and roots planted firmly in the music for advertising space. While we continue to grow into other markets, we hope to partner with composers and provide an open door to opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be accessible. While many composers may have already established more profitable outlets for their music, Howling intends to open a pathway to a real music library that sees opportunities for placing music on a daily basis. Howling can bring you value through curated briefs, honest feedback, and real community with our composers. Because ultimately, we believe we are in this together; our success is your success. It will only be in our best interest to help you as a composer improve.

It should be noted that, as with any sync music/production music endeavor, it's a long game. Patience is paramount! Even if we accept a library track from you and it gets placed immediately, it will take a year at least for royalty money to make its way to you.

Here’s our founder, David, with more info!
