A monthly event since April, 2007, SPONY offers a forum where professional songwriters have an opportunity to pitch a song to industry players, all of whose job descriptions include looking for songs and/or songwriting talent. The distinguished list of past panelists includes executives from EMI, Warner, Sony/ATV, Bad Boy, Universal, MTV, Cherry Lane, ABC, the CW, independent music supervisors, music production libraries, and ad agencies. And we're especially proud of the amazing number of success stories.
SPONY is now global! — finally offering those songwriters who don't live in the New York area a chance to participate. These events are live-streamed, real-time panels which, in addition to the chance to get your song heard on-air, offer an overview on a variety of subjects such as Film & TV, A&R, Advertising & Video Games, etc. Our Chat Room is open and available to the participants, as well as an opportunity to send in a question for the panelists for the Q&A portion of the program.
And, check out these highlights from some of our other events!
