**Guest post written by Sync Songwriter. Their mission is to not only help independent artists and songwriters learn and understand the sync licensing world but to also help them build relationships with music supervisors.
"Although there are plenty of benefits to recording and releasing a cover song (especially for sync licensing), many artists never do. This is usually due to the concern regarding the legalities of releasing a cover of another person’s composition.
However, covering a song legally is not as daunting as one might think. If done properly and ethically, the rewards of such a release can really benefit an artist’s career.
All of this is awesome for music releases, but there are additional things to consider when releasing a cover song with a video.
Finally, if the cover song is being sent to a music supervisor for TV or film, you probably don’t have to worry about the sync license. In this case, it’s the music supervisor’s job to take care of the negotiations with you and the publisher."
