Cathy Heller is the go-to artist when it comes to licensing music. She’s been written about in Variety, Billboard, the LA Weekly, USA Today, The Forward and more. Every artist wants to make a great living making music but most haven’t figured out how. For years Cathy has been blazing a new trail in the music industry, pitching her own music and now she’s helping other artists do the same!
She started her own licensing company, Catch The Moon Music in order to offer the same enthusiasm and personalized hustle to other artist's music that she gives to her own. She is very much a people person and the relationships she has created in the ad agency world and with the music supervisors is second to none. She is a caring, hard working person. Having great music and being easy to work with has been a winning combination for her.
Now in addition to her own licensing success, she’s helping other indie artists create a thriving career. What does it take to place a song in a national ad? How does an artist break through the noise? Cathy has figured out the secrets to licensing music and she’s sharing it with others.
