    Season 3 Ep 5: Mathew Steele of SteeleSync

    SyncSpotlight conference info and registration link: ⁠https://www.eventbrite.com/e/syncspotlight-2026-north-atlanta-tickets-1320281169519⁠ Skool Community: ⁠SyncRadar About SteeleSync: SteeleSync was created to give those deserving indie acts a chance for added exposure and an increased budget to help blossom their careers.  We have always had a passion for finding those diamonds in the rough.  There are so many talented and hardworking indie artists out there.  It’s a shame that only a small chosen few actually receive the exposure they deserve. Unlike some other companies out there SteeleSync works non-exclusively so we don’t limit the other opportunities that might be out there for our acts.  Not just that but our percentage are just a fraction compared to other related companies. Many artists are in the dark when it comes to music licensing and just don’t realize the amount of potential their catalog might hold.  We feel it’s our duty to help educate our clients. Many artists are in the dark when it comes to music licensing and just don’t realize the amount of potential their catalog might hold.  We feel it’s our duty to help educate our clients.  We have articles, tips and interviews located at our blog https://steelesync.com/blog/ and on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SteeleSync/ .  Sharing the knowledge helps strengthen our relationships and may even help open up more doors in the future once applying what we have learned to our own craft.

David’s reputation both as a world-renowned drummer supporting the biggest names in rock, pop, country, and jazz and as a Multi-Platinum award-winning, Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer, is second to none. With his deep knowledge and understanding of the industry, his creative successes have rewarded him with a global audience reach of nearly 1.4 billion.

Much like his own, their catalogs are filled with honest, emotional, and authentic works.
