Sync Licensing 101 with Mary Kate Melnick

June 26th, 2025

Our guest this week is Mary Kate Melnick - the Head of Licensing at ATO Records and founder of Odd Man Out Publishing. She sets the table for us by defining the most basic terms of her industry and then diving into the behind the scenes motions involved with music synchronizations. We discuss what deals look like for the artists, how the money may end up flowing and even manage to get a little heady in our talk about where all this is headed.
