GMS x Colombian Sync Market 2024


We are delighted to announce that the UK and European Guild of Music Supervisors have partnered with Colombian Sync Market.
The event emerges as an innovative response to the current needs of the Colombian and global music industry, in a world where music has become an essential tool for audiovisual storytelling, advertising, video games and more, synchronisation has become established as a powerful avenue to connect musical talent with commercial opportunities, despite Colombia’s rich sonic diversity, lack of exposure and limited economic outcomes for many artists demonstrate the need for a specialised market that addresses these challenges.

Colombian Sync Market is taking place from 19th of March to 22nd March 2024. Music Supervisors Michelle De Vries, Lucy Bright, Hollie Hutton, Chloe Heatlie will be representing the UK and European Guild of Music Supervisors. Across the 4-days, they will travel as part of the FanTrip group to connect with the most powerful independent music catalogs in the region, while immersing in the natural, urban and musical experiences of Medellín and its surroundings, participating in the various networking activities, attending the concerts and the panels program.

Michelle will also take part in the ‘Let’s build from Bad Experiences‘ (Construyamos Desde Las Malas Experiencias) panel on 22nd March 2024. She will be speaking alongside Guillermo Salazar (Musical Director at RCN Television, Colombia), Herminio Gutierrez (Music Supervisor, Mexico), Andrea von Foerster (Music Supervisor, US), moderated by Luisa Piñeros (Radio Presenter, Colombia). The panel will look into bad experiences and how creators used them as foundations for success and discuss barriers, challenges and lessons learned in the world of music synchronisation.
