“Locally, Music Synchronization is an under-tapped revenue source which can be treated with actively or as a means of passive income. This initiative aims to strengthen the local music ecosystem’s understanding of the power of sync and connect them directly to the decision makers and libraries. By expanding participants international market access in this area, we are very sure that this will translate into a worthy revenue source for creators.” stated Melissa Jimenez, General Manager of the Music Unit at Global Trinidad and Tobago.
