Question 1

What is music licensing/sync licensing?

Accepted Answer

Music licensing is the act of getting permission from a composer/songwriter/music publisher to use their music for a commercial, film, TV series, game or any kind of content. If you DO NOT license the music through the rights holders, you are committing a copyright infringement which can end up in legal and financial damages.

Commercial music is music that has been made by the artists on our "Talent" page charged at custom rates, depending on the usage type and territory. Library/production music is music that you can license under Capasso's fixed rates. This is the rate card: https://www.capasso.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/CAPASSO-2025-RATE-CARD.pdf All music should be licensed via our license request form which appears on all pages where our playlists are.
