Ep 129: Why Music Supervisors Ignore You

In this episode, I sit down with music supervisor Jessica Gramuglia to talk about what's actually happening on the other side of that inbox. Jess has worked in music supervision at Warner Brothers TV and has seen thousands of cold emails from songwriters, publishers, and artists trying to land sync placements. She's not holding back. We break down the emails that get instantly filed into her "Who Are You?" folder, why following up aggressively is killing your chances, and why AI-generated pitch emails are making things worse, not better. But this isn't just about what NOT to do. Jess shares the one email that actually worked perfectly (hint: it involved Maren Morris before she was famous), what makes her want to actually listen to your music, and why relationships will always beat cold pitches in sync licensing. If you’re a songwriter trying to get your music placed in TV, film, or ads, this is the episode you need to hear before you send another email.  Want to stop writing songs that go nowhere?
