As my wonderful friend and mentor Caron Nightingale  (Nightingale Music Library/APM) once said (far better than I ever could): 

​

"Production music is what you hear in the background of your favorite shows, films, and ads — in some cases, up to 40% of everything you hear — yet you rarely know who wrote it.

The people behind it are the quiet, unsung heroes of the music world: artists, composers, publishers, and business minds who care deeply about music, community, and the creative future.

Many in this space have played or toured with famous bands — and you’d never guess it. They’re just as successful as the artists whose names you recognize, but they carry it quietly. These are the kind of people you can stop mid-coffee, and they’ll pull up a chair and share what they’ve learned."
