What we do.

emi musicResources works to provide creative access to the tremendous body of music represented by EMI Music Publishing. Based on your creative requirements, we can submit songs for potential licensing or set you up with writers and/or artists to create original music. We also regularly produce CD reference sets which explore specific areas of our catalogs by genre or lyrical theme. All these services are free of charge and we can have music to you in under 24 hours either on CD or via our secure FTP site.

How does emi musicResources work?

Email your musical requirements including as many project specifics as you can provide to musicresources@emimusicpub.com or call us at 212.830.2001. If there is footage to look at, a background description, etc. this is very helpful in our identifying the best songs, writers, or artists for your needs so please send us this material as well if it's available. Traditionally, we will call back with questions if we have any. From there we will begin to send you music which is always delivered within 24 hours via CD, FTP or email. All of our services are free of charge.

I'm not familiar with the legalities of licensing music, commissioning writers, or artists, etc. Once we find a piece of music, can you help me through the process?

Absolutely. We will work out as many of the details as possible and put you in touch with any parties you may need to contact to license additional rights. This would include co-publishers, labels, artists, talent, etc. For more information please call our Licensing Hotline at 212.830.5118.

I can't seem to find music that works for my project and also fits my budget. Can you help?

If budgets are a priority, we always consider them before submitting music. In general, the more recognizable or popular the music is, the more expensive it is. Our goal is to provide you with the best musical options you can afford. In some cases your budget may not be substantial enough to license a well-known song. When this situation occurs, we will tell you, and if you are receptive, suggest other solutions.

What if I already know what song I am interested in licensing?

Once you have registered on our web site, you can submit a license request online by searching for the song you are interested in and pressing the "Request A Quote" button. Since processing your registration may take a day or two, if you have an urgent request you can call our Licensing Hotline at 212.830.5118 which will explain how to submit a license request via fax.
