My name is Eric Copeland and I am a full-time composer, arranger, and producer focused mainly on developing music for use for television, movies, ads, and more.
We call this sync licensing.
On this channel, I’m sharing my week-to-week experiences as a working sync composer, producer and leader of our sync music development company, Positive Spin Songs. Each week on this channel we talk about the albums we’re creating, the briefs we’re responding to, the wins, the losses, how I make (and don’t make) music income, and the strategies I’m using right now to build a sustainable royalty income.
I started as a part-time music maker with a corporate job, and over the last 25 years I’ve built a six-figure music career as a music producer, music artist, educator, and church music leader. I’ve literally made music income in about every way you can.
But my past and future have been as a composer. And as I look at the music landscape in 2025 going into 2026, I feel that composing albums for television, film, ads, and more is what I want to spend my time focusing on.
On this channel I’m taking you with me as I continue navigating the sync world in real time—showing you exactly what it takes to grow, adapt, and thrive in this industry. And you can watch the results in real time too. Let’s see what happens.
What People Say
“Mr. Eric Copeland: I have so much respect for you. When we first met, you could have easily name dropped or bragged about who you were and your connections in the industry, but you didn’t. Instead, you asked about my vision, listened to my heart, and offered information on how I could be the best me. Who does that?”
