Nashville, TN, April 28, 2010 – MusikPitch is turning the songwriting business inside out with the launch of an online marketplace for custom songwriting. The new site gives music supervisors, corporate brands and others access to a largely untapped pool of songwriting talent, while simultaneously empowering the songwriting community with a brand new market for their music making talents.
To begin the process, clients simply post their songwriting needs, along with their set budget. MusikPitch songwriters immediately begin submitting their own tracks, and clients provide feedback to help songwriters fine tune their final product. At the end of the contest, the client picks their favorite song, pays the winning songwriter, and leaves with a custom song they know they love.
The MusikPitch marketplace can be used for virtually any custom song or sound — whether it’s for a company, studio, or individual. Project samples include music for movie trailers, TV shows, video games, corporate branding, recording artists, as well as personal songs for reunions, parties, weddings, schools, and more.
With MusikPitch’s contest model, clients can tap into the diverse skills and creativity of talent from all walks of life and from all over the world. The MusikPitch creative community includes well-established songwriters, with decades of commercial and studio experience, in addition to emerging talent who are turning out creative tracks using GarageBand, Logic Studio, and other programs.
Talent compete for each songwriting project — giving contest holders an unprecedented abundance of options, while also making the process of finding a great songwriter much more efficient, and much less expensive. MusikPitch clients no longer have to deal with expensive licensing firms or the risky and time-consuming process of hiring a songwriter. Now they can source a custom song on their own terms, with 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
“The current model hasn’t been working well for either the songwriter or for those who need custom music. It’s too difficult for songwriters to find paying opportunities, and clients need to make a commitment before actually hearing the final piece,” explained MusikPitch founder, Scott McIntosh. “We wanted to create a better way and turned to the well-proven model of crowdsourcing to make that happen.”

MusikPitch enables songwriters to compete for opportunities and win contracts, regardless of their background, experience, or location. On MusikPitch, songwriters are judged solely on the creativity and quality of their submitted track, as opposed to their proposal, portfolio, or industry contacts. As a result, the site helps uncover budding talent around the world — leveling the playing field to encourage a new generation of songwriting legends. And for established songwriters, MusikPitch is an essential way to find diverse new opportunities and build valuable, long-term relationships with clients.
MusikPitch also streamlines the licensing process and protects the intellectual property of all by offering free licensing contracts for each contest. While licensing agreements are complex and can typically take weeks, if not months, to negotiate, MusikPitch guides both contest holders and songwriters through the process in just a few easy steps. As a result, both the songwriter and client can focus on the creativity of the project, rather than legal documents and fine print.
For contest holders, MusikPitch charges a small flat fee and 10% of the prize fee to post a contest. MusikPitch is completely free for songwriters;
