(ONSSR 050) Hollywood (2025) Blockbuster needs 2 tracks for closing credits – $50,000 per track.
Think Marvel level movie release and you will be in the ballpark for this.
Three closing credit tracks will be used, with one already being in place. The one already sourced is a big up tempo classical track. This will lead into…
- A mid to up tempo instrumental track – non genre specific, but must be truly high quality (covers acceptable)
- A slow / down tempo instrumental track – non genre specific, but must be truly high quality (covers acceptable)
These 2 tracks are ultimately all about the quality and tempo and not the genre. If you have tracks WITH vocals, they will be considered but you will need to be able to either supply an instrumental version next year or work with us to have it re-recorded if your music is selected.
Finally, both of these tracks can come from the same artist, so technically you could land $100k for this opp.
You can submit up to 5 tracks for each of the tracks required, so 10 in total.
CLOSING DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR THIS OPP IS THE 22nd of February 2025 with successful artists / bands / artists / writers being notified on or by the 3rd of April 2025.

(ONSSR 049) Chinese real estate company needs 2 tracks for year long TV advertising campaign – $5000 per track.
This opp is also 100% about quality and tempo and not the genre.
The advert (planned at this time) has a concept of a couple and their children not being happy at all with their current home and so the track for this needs to be very much a down tempo track.
In their new home (purchased of course through this real estate company) the final scenes will feature the family loving life with an up tempo track to match their joy.
Both tracks can be with or without vocals and again it is tempo and feel as well as quality that will win the day here. Covers are definitely acceptable and again these can be Rock, Country, Pop, Dance, Hip hop etc…ANY genres.
You can submit up to 5 tracks for this one for each down tempo and up tempo track required, meaning again 10 in total.
CLOSING DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR THIS OPP IS THE 22nd of December 2024 with successful artists / bands / artists / writers being notified on or by the 29th of January 2025.

A spring advertising campaign for an international cruise company requires 5 tracks of very different genres as the campaign is all about boat cruises no longer being what people traditionally think they are. Cruises are now aimed at, well, just about everyone.
So for this campaign the music is definitely to come first (actually prior to filming) as the 5 tracks selected will shape the guests chosen to feature in the campaign.
So there are only 2 rules.
1) The tracks must be of a specific genre / type – i.e they should scream Hip Hop, Rock, Jazz, Country, EDM, Classical etc – not just limited to what I have listed of course.
2) No explicit lyrics.
You can submit up to 5 tracks and the 5 can come from multiple genres. This is 100% about the obvious genre / style connection and the quality.
And again to confirm, it is the music that will shape the advert, so if you have quality and the genre / style specific tracks, you have an excellent chance at a single or multiple placements.

(ONSSR 034) Asian Restaurant Chain needs 4 to 5 second melody – up to $75,000.
So here is a huge and relatively simple request, but is is specific. A Far East restaurant chain are doing some new branding for 2024 and require a 4 to 5 second melody to fit their new tagline.
We can’t give the actual tagline / lyrics, as they will be unveiling this with the launch of the campaign, but I can give you the total number of notes and the phrasing.
You can either give us…
“A, B, C ….. Taking it to the D”. This means there are 3 one syllable words, a brief pause and then a 2 syllable word and then 4 more 1 syllable words.
or
“A, B, C-D ….. Taking it to the E”. This means there are 2 one syllable words and one 2 syllable word (the C-D bit), a brief pause and then a 2 syllable word and then 4 more 1 syllable words.
I really hope that is clear? Believe you me, this was a fun skype call with lots of embarrassing humming! Hopefully this does explain the phrasing and of course, tempo wise, you will know that, given it wants to be around the 4 second mark in total.
What they want initially is the melody, so you don’t have to do a huge production, you can literally hum your melody or do a simple single instrument recording. As long as it fits the brief, the winning melody will then be recorded fully either by yourself or a third party.
You can submit up to 4 tracks / melodies for this one. If you do, by chance, happen to have a clip from an existing track that fits, then you can of course give us the timing, or send up a cut version. No rush as such on this one, so you can take a little time to come up with something really catchy.

Our instructions were “in an ideal world, the open and closing sounds for the app will be connected in tone and feel, for instance one 5 or 7 note melody may go up, while the second may be similar, but going down. This said, if one of your artists has a catchy snippet for either the opening or closing sound of the app, then we are happy to work with them on a re-record and a creation of 2 linked audio logos. With this in mind, clips of existing tracks with no vocals are absolutely acceptable.“
Artists / bands / writers can submit either an app opening snippet / audio logo, an app closing snippet / audio logo or both. Please just tell us which is which.
Artists / bands / writers can submit up to 5 snippets for the opening and up to 5 for the closing.
The payment is a pleasant $15,000 PER snippet / audio logo and if re-records are needed, you will be compensated for your additional time / costs.

Two diverse tracks and styles of music are required, but of course, you can just supply one if your music only exists in one genre. So ultimately we / they are looking for tracks that portray a very specific genre. ie a few seconds of a track will leave the viewer in no doubt that the music is metal, DJ, Country, Classical etc.
