  • About the event

    Organized and hosted by Robbie Hancock, offered by Sync or Swim Music, and supported by Amplify BC’s Industry Initiatives program, the Sync or Swim Music Event Weekend offers a unique opportunity for members of the music industry – composers, songwriters, artists, and other stakeholders – to connect, share knowledge, and exchange best practices associated with the sync-focused sector of the industry, including licensing and business development opportunities.

    Sync or Swim Music events have been developed to support the music sector, connect industry professionals, and provide a robust knowledge and best practices base for individuals at all stages of career. The initiative was was founded in June of 2021 by singer/songwriter, composer/producer, and owner/operator Robbie Hancock.

    Slated for May 27, 28, and 29, 2022, the weekend will enable attendees network directly with sync-focused artists, songwriters and composers. It is also a chance to learn from industry professionals who have created successful careers in sync licensing (namely, film, tv, documentaries, commercials, and video games). Participating attendees will also have the opportunity to have their music played and critiqued by sync professionals during the weekend. There will also be networking and social periods.

    Thanks to support from Amplify BC, participation in this online event has been made possible at no cost to attendees. To register, click here.

    Why should you sponsor?

    Sync or Swim Music was founded in June of 2021 by singer/songwriter, composer/producer and owner/operator Robbie Hancock.  Robbie has over 1000 placements in Film, TV, Documentaries and Commercials and reached the point in his career with success in music licensing to start giving back and paying forward, with the help of his mentors and industry pro friends.  ROBBIE'S BIO AND CREDITS

    After launching the 1st networking event with over 15 industry pro speakers and 150 attendees he knew he had something special.  Sync or Swim Music has since grown after 3 weekend events to over 500 attendees in total and an email list of over 1000 sync focused songwriters, composers and artists.  Robbie has always led with honestly, kindness and empathy from day 1 and continues to instill a safe online environment that is inclusive and diverse throughout in attendees as well as team members and industry pros. 

    Sync or Swim Music is FREE for attendees to participate at the events with registration and to connect with the community social networks that are steadily growing in numbers thanks to the volunteer social networking and marketing teams. 

    In order to grow and keep things free for attendees and group members Robbie has turned to fueling the newly registered BC music business through sponsorship dollars, grants and silent sponsors and donations.  If you would like to be a part of this growing innovative company in a new thriving sync licensing sector of the music industry then we have put together some things below where you can.  Thank you so much for your consideration to support and we look forward to connecting with you very soon.
