411 Music Group

411 Music Group is a woman-owned, WBENC-certified music house founded by Kristen Agee in 2012, headquartered in Burbank, California. The company provides synchronization licensing, custom scoring, publishing administration, and digital distribution for music rights holders across film, television, advertising, trailers, sports, gaming, and digital content.

How 411 Music Group Works

411 Music Group operates as a one-stop licensing shop. The company controls both the publishing and master sides of its catalog, which means music supervisors and producers can clear a track in a single transaction without chasing down multiple rights holders. The catalog spans over 380,000 cues, including 200,000-plus production music tracks, 120,000-plus covers and commercial tracks, 60,000-plus stems, and authentic archival sounds.

The company maintains studios in Los Angeles, New York, Copenhagen, and London, with partnerships extending across 34 territories in Europe, Japan, China, and South Korea. Founder and CEO Kristen Agee oversees creative and strategic business development, including the custom music division that scores promos, trailers, video games, ads, and an average of 8 to 10 TV shows per year.

411 Music Group also operates a traditional publishing arm that represents Billboard-charted artists. The roster includes 5,000 artists from 52 countries, with 50% of the composer roster, 57% of songwriters, and 22% of producers identifying as female. The company is an official TikTok Sound Partner and has powered over 80 brand campaigns generating 54.2 billion-plus views.

Real-World Example

A music supervisor working on an AMC television series needs a pre-cleared indie rock track for a 30-second scene. Instead of negotiating separately with a publisher and a record label, the supervisor contacts 411 Music Group, selects a track from the one-stop catalog, and receives a single license covering both the composition and the master recording. The fee might range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the media type, territory, and duration of use. The track clears in 24 hours, and the scene airs the following week.

Why It Matters for Independent Artists

411 Music Group actively signs independent artists and composers to its roster, not just established acts. The company's one-stop model means your music is easier for supervisors to place, which translates to more sync opportunities. If you write commercially viable tracks with clean mixes and properly documented rights splits, submit your music through their website. Having instrumental versions and stems ready will increase your chances, since supervisors frequently request them for dialogue-heavy scenes.
