The Orchard’s Creative Licensing division supplies independent music to productions across the globe.  For our clients, we focus our placement activity in both major studio and independent films, television shows, advertisements, video games, websites, compilation albums, and new media.  

We market and administer licenses on behalf of thousands of content creators – everything from chart-topping hits to fresh up-and-coming indie rock to timeless jazz to classical masterpieces to exotic regional music from around the world. 

Creative Music Searches 

Our creative team works with a trusted network of music supervisors, studio executives, and agency music producers to navigate our large catalogue, delivering hand-picked music to create moods and brand connections. Our experienced group executes searches quickly so music buyers can focus on the creative aspects of his or her project.

Music Clearance Services 

The Orchard represents one of the largest licensed collections of music available, with efficient connections to tens of thousands of artists, labels, and publishers.
