License Southern Spirit Assembly Music
Original, Nashville-crafted southern songs — available for sync, commercial, and personal use.
Every song in the Southern Spirit Assembly catalog is fully registered with BMI and cleared for licensing. Whether you're a filmmaker looking for authentic southern character in a score, a brand searching for something that feels genuinely rooted, or an individual who wants to use a song for a personal project — you're in the right place. This is a real catalog with a real legal foundation, and we make the licensing process as straightforward as possible.
What You're Getting
When you license a song from Southern Spirit Assembly, you're getting the right to use original, copyrighted music — songs that belong to a single songwriter and a properly registered publishing entity — for the purpose and scope you've agreed to. All songs are registered with BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.), which means they're tracked, protected, and documented under US and international copyright law.
This isn't stock music pulled from a database. These are real songs, written by a real person, with real stories behind them. Licensing them puts that authenticity in your project — and it means the artist gets credit and compensation for the work. That's how the music keeps getting made.
How You Can Use the Music
Sync Licensing
For film, television, online video, advertising, documentaries, and any other production where the music plays alongside visual content. If you're a filmmaker, content creator, ad agency, or production company looking for authentic southern character in your audio track, sync licensing is what you need. We handle the master and publishing rights in one place — no need to track down multiple parties.
Best for: Films, TV shows, YouTube content, commercials, branded video content, documentary work.
Commercial Use Licensing
For businesses and organizations that want to use southern music in a commercial context outside of video production — in-store, at events, in presentations, or in advertising campaigns. We're open to conversations about the right fit and scope for your project.
Best for: Retail environments, events, brand campaigns, corporate presentations, marketing materials.
Personal Use / Direct License
For individuals who want to use a song for a non-commercial personal purpose — a wedding, a memorial video, a personal creative project. Personal licenses are typically more affordable and straightforward to arrange. Just reach out and tell us what you have in mind.
Best for: Wedding videos, personal tributes, private events, non-commercial creative projects.
Three Steps to Get Started
Step 1 — Browse the Catalog: Listen to the available music on the Music page and identify the song or songs that fit your project.
Step 2 — Send a Licensing Inquiry: Use the contact form to tell us about your project: what you're creating, how you intend to use the music, the scope of the use (duration, territory, platform), and any timeline you're working with. There's no commitment at this stage — just a conversation.
Step 3 — We'll Work Out the Details: We'll follow up with licensing terms and pricing specific to your project and intended use. Once both parties are happy with the terms, we finalize the agreement and you get the right to use the music in your project.
Pricing
Licensing fees vary based on the type of use, the scope of the project, the territory, and the duration of the license. We don't publish fixed rate cards because we'd rather talk about your project and get you the right license at a fair price than fit you into a formula that wasn't designed with your situation in mind.
For most inquiries, we aim to respond within two to three business days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to license the music separately from the songwriter and the label?
A: No. Southern Spirit Music, LLC holds both the publishing rights and the master recording rights for all songs in this catalog. That means you only need to work with us — there's no need to track down a separate master rights holder or negotiate with multiple parties.
Q: Can I use a southern music track in my YouTube video or social media content?
A: Yes, through a sync license. Online video content — whether it's YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or any other platform — falls under sync licensing, and we offer licenses for creators and businesses at a range of scales. Send us an inquiry and tell us about your content and audience.
Q: What if I only need a small portion of a song — like 15 or 30 seconds?
A: We can license specific portions of songs for uses like short-form video content, ads, or bumpers. The scope of the use affects the pricing, so the more detail you give us about how you're using the clip, the more accurate a quote we can provide.
