Hey! That's My Song! A Guide to Getting Music Placements in
Film, TV, and Media
Wife-and-husband music writing team TRACEY and VANCE MARINO met at the iconic Belly Up Tavern in San Diego after their friends stood them up at a concert. They've been creating music together ever since.
As Songwriters, Tracey and Vance write and produce music and lyrics, particularly upbeat Indie Folk, Indie Folk Pop, Indie Folk Rock, Holiday, and Commercial Music.
As Instrumental cue composers, they specialize in hybrid cues with contemporary beats: Tension, Dramedy, EDM, Hip Hop, Rock, Emotional Drama, World Music, Beach, Island, Reggae, and Upbeat, Happy Quirky cues. They also have success with Orchestral Rock, Circus/Carnival, Acoustic Guitar (Neoclassical New-Age, Slack Key), Ukulele, Solo Piano (Neoclassical New-Age, Ragtime), and Christmas/Holiday music.
With more than 3,000 songs and instrumental cues in their BMI catalog, Tracey and Vance receive accolades for their interesting arrangements, catchy themes, quality musicianship, playing real instruments, crafted lyrics, and their ability to provide a quick turnaround in the fast-paced music world. They've had thousands of placements in TV, film, trailers, promos, advertising, video games, and other media. They also work directly with Music Supervisors on custom projects. IMDb Credits HERE
The Marinos are frequent educational panelists and guest speakers for music schools and organizations about writing, producing, and signing music to sync companies, production music libraries, and music publishers. List of speaking engagements HERE
Tracey and Vance Marino have been the volunteer Nashville Songwriters Association International NSAI San Diego Chapter Coordinators since 2012. NSAI is a not-for-profit organization that educates songwriters about the craft and business of songwriting. The Marinos are sync music consultants who focus on sharing information about music licensing and getting song placements. The NSAI San Diego meeting attendees' questions over the years inspired the Marinos to write their #1 Best Selling book (Songwriting and Music Business categories on Amazon), Hey! That's My Song! A Guide to Getting Music Placements in Film, TV, and Media, published by Backbeat Books in May 2022.
