Who is The Whos Looking List?

We are experienced and successful music industry executives and have all had major success having worked with many Gold, Platinum, & Multi-Platinum Artists.  We have all worked in A&R departments at record and publishing companies in the US and overseas. Our average industry experience is 25 years. We have worked for majors and indies in every genre you can think of (although we’re pretty sure none of us have worked for a polka label – we like Polka).  We know what it is like to struggle but ultimately succeed.

We prefer success and we want to be a vital tool to help you do that in the entertainment industry.

The result is The Looking List

In case you are not aware, music publishers like to keep their songwriters busy, hopefully writing the next big smash which will generate millions in earnings. So, once a month, the publisher sends out their “Who’s Looking List” (or “Casting List”) which gives valuable info on artists looking for songs, co-writes or collaborations.  A publisher’s list is usually put together by some long-suffering, overworked assistant low on the totem pole delegated to this tedious task because nobody else wants to do it or has the time. So, its usually put off by them until the last minute and then quickly hashed together.  As former A&R staffers we all took calls from such a person, their bored voice spoke volumes about how seriously they took this task. So they often fudge things. (take it from us, this is the truth).  We try to be different!!!

Nevertheless, if you are a songwriter signed to a publisher it is still great to receive such a list and better than nothing.  But, what if you are not signed to a publisher, or your self published? What if your publisher does not have the means to create such a list and what if the list your publisher sends you just sucks or you have not heard from your A&R rep in a while?
Our Looking List is designed to allow any Songwriter, Artist, Manager, Producer, Attorney and Music Publisher see who’s currently looking for songs, co-writes or collaborations.
