New placement on Netflix! 🙏🏾 @beraudmusic and I recreated the theme for Temptation Island, and it first appears in Episode 1 for over 2 minutes. What most people don’t see is how this actually happened… This came from a relationship I built 2 years ago through the @laampmusic program. I won a scholarship to attend LAAMP in 2024 from the team over at @output ! I was paired with Beraud on the final songwriting project. Following up with her later down the road and I just so happen to get the opportunity to work on this. She recorded it (I think the same day). And here we are! No cold pitch. No viral moment. Just staying consistent, building with the right people, and being ready when the opportunity showed up. Thank you to @jazzhero and @atriummusicofficial for the opportunity! That’s the real game in sync licensing: → Relationships → Timing → Execution If you’re trying to get your first or next placement or break into sync, I’m breaking down the full behind-the-scenes of this (sessions, collaboration, and process) inside my Skool community. Comment “skool” to join the fun! Let's go! #synclicensing #musicplacement #netflixmusic #filmcomposer #musicproducer #syncplacement #temptationisland

Over the last few years, Canada 🇨🇦 became an important part of my creative journey. What started with sync workshops in Toronto turned into writing camps, collaborations, friendships, and relationships throughout the Canadian music community that genuinely inspired me creatively. That journey led to this project: DA FINGAZ PRESENTS: TRUE NORTH 🎬 A Canadian hip hop album featuring incredible artists from across Canada. Boom bap. Soul. Grit. Ambition. Perseverance. Energy. Every record on this project was produced by me, but this album is bigger than production. It’s about community, collaboration, and honoring the country where I’ve connected with great creatives over the last few years. The project is officially OUT NOW on streaming platforms and available for sync licensing. Huge thank you to everyone involved in helping bring this vision to life: @imadhmusic @denisedeion @merhiphop @jag.huligin @alissaariste (Lia Kloud) @shifty_eyes @earthtoaminata If you’re a music supervisor, sync agent, brand, filmmaker, sports team, agency, or creative looking for cinematic hip hop music with emotional depth, feel free to reach out. Special thank you to everyone in Canada who welcomed me, collaborated with me, taught me something, inspired me, or believed in the vision along the way.

Still thinking about this full circle moment from the @recordingacademy DC Chapter Mentor Mixer + Creator Summit 🙏🏾🎹 I grew up playing piano and organ in church for over 25 years. And if you know gospel music… then you KNOW I’ve played: 🎹 “I Just Want To Praise You” 🎹 “Worth” more times than I can count 😂 So being in the room with @maurettebclark and AnthonyBrown (@ajblive ) talking about music, faith, creativity, and even sync licensing opportunities honestly felt surreal. What made it even deeper… I never realized how much my church background would connect to the sync world years later. Since Thanksgiving, I’ve released 3 gospel albums for sync licensing and I’m currently working on album 4 👀. Nothing from the journey was wasted. Not the rehearsals. Not the long services. Not the small moments. Not the preparation. God really has a way of connecting the dots over time. The Creator Summit also had amazing conversations around: ✨ AI in music ✨ Music revenue + ownership ✨ Mindfulness for creatives ✨ Networking + relationship building And another highlight was finally meeting @jake.vicious in person after collaborating remotely for months. Love seeing online music relationships become real-world connections 🤝🏾 One thing I keep learning: Networking works best when you lead with authenticity instead of trying to “get” something. Build real relationships. Support people. Stay consistent. Keep showing up. You never know what full circle moment might be waiting on the other side. Let’s go! #SyncLicensing #GospelMusic #MusicIndustry #RecordingAcademy #networking #musicbusiness

Over the last few years, #Canada has become an important part of my creative journey. What started with an introduction from @xcaliberzero turned into sync workshops in Toronto with @mzmeesh17 x @thehooksyncgroup (where I met #musicsupervisor for @wracketmusicsupervision @vybzchantel ), returning during @tiff_net with @brianna_shelko and the @levelupmusicproductions team for a writing camp (in collaboration with @guildofmusicsupervisorscanada x @vapormusic x @heatheradamo ), building relationships with artists, music supervisors, producers, and creatives throughout the Canadian music community, and continuing to grow real friendships and collaborations along the way. Those experiences inspired this project. Da Fingaz Presents: TRUE NORTH 🇨🇦 A cinematic Canadian hip hop album featuring incredible artists from across Canada. Gritty. Reflective. Cinematic. Triumphant. Boom bap, soul, late night energy, ambition, struggle, perseverance, and growth. Every song on this project was produced by me, but this album is bigger than production. It’s about community, collaboration, and honoring the relationships built over the last few years. The project will be available for sync licensing and streaming platforms soon. Still wrapping final mixes and paperwork now, and there may even be another track or two added before release 👀 Huge thank you to every artist involved for trusting the vision. Artists on the album (so far): @imadhmusic @denisedeion @merhiphop @jag.huligin @alissaariste @shifty_eyes @aminatathemuse TRUE NORTH. 🇨🇦🎬🎧 #canadarapper #canadianhiphop #canadianrapper #HipHop #SyncLicensing #musicsupervisor

He still reigns… no matter what it looks like 🙏🏾 Sharing a moment from my gospel choir album “He Still Reigns.” This project was special. Not just because of the music… But because of the spirit behind it. Powerful vocals by: ✨ @AprilKProductions@Candyyl0v3@deanheardsings Each brought something real to this. Not just performance, but conviction. That’s what I’ve been leaning into more lately. Faith. Story. Emotion. And bringing that into the sync world in a way that feels authentic. Because there’s a real movement happening right now. Faith-based music is finding its place in film, TV, and trailers. And when it’s done right? It connects on a whole different level. If you’re a music supervisor or creative looking for something with meaning and impact, this project is available for sync. 🎧 Comment "reign" to Stream the full album. Grateful for moments like this. Let’s keep building. 🙏🏾 What did this snippet make you feel? #gospelmusic #synclicensing #musiccomposer #faithbased #productionmusic

Most music catalogs are built wrong. They’re built in lanes. One genre. One sound. One box. That doesn’t work in sync. Because stories don’t live in one lane. They move. So I’ve been building differently. Not just tracks… A system. 🎶 Hip hop for energy and identity 🎶 Gospel for emotion and contrast 🎶 Choir for scale 🎶 Pop and kids for accessibility 🎶 Rock and country for texture 🎶 Cinematic for story 🎶 Trailer for tension 🎶 Lo fi for space 🎶 Global influence layered throughout Different sounds. Different emotions. One connected vision. That’s the goal. Not just to make music… But to build something that can live across projects. More music on the way. Stay tuned. If you’re a music supervisor or creative working on projects, let’s connect. #synclicensing #musicforsync #trailermusic #composer #musicproduction
