Wednesday, February 5th, 2025, 7 pm Pacific, SongNet Presents Evan Stein and Dani Felt
Evan Stein
In 2003, Evan Stein formed Experience Music Group, a boutique music licensing, branding and artist management agency that specialized in matching up-and-coming indie artists with brands as well as creatives in film, television and advertising. Offering a ‘one-stop’ shop to provide pre-cleared content for Film, TV and new media, Experience Music Group is one of the cornerstones of the music licensing industry, having secured over 1000 licenses including placements in Mayans M.C., Damages, The Big C, Hawaii Five-0, Cobra Kai and Shameless, video games like the Steep series, movies such as I Love You, Man, American Reunion, Playing For Keeps, The Late Bloomer, and commercials for Budweiser, Pioneer, American Eagle Outfitters, ESPN, Rogers, Toyota, and Sony. It’s been a wild ride and one that took liftoff on Super Bowl Sunday 2008. Stein’s first big break came when he discovered Latch Key Kid, a young SoCal singer-songwriter whose shiny harmony-laden song “Good Times‘ was pure candy. Coca Cola agreed, with Stein negotiating for the song to be the bed of “Jinx,” their Super Bowl commercial. In 2010, he struck gold again, this time signing an obscure Las Vegas band on CD Baby called Imagine Dragons who were already making catchy pop Rock.
From signing a Joint Venture with Warner Music Australia to discovering Adult Alternative darlings The Record Company (“Off the Ground”) to quarterbacking an aggressive multi-platform rollout for Boston based My Silent Bravery, helping the band ascend to #11 on the Billboard Rock Chart, Evan creates and implements strategies that best compliment an artist’s goals, regardless of genre or territory. His keen expertise in branding and Artist Development has also paved the way for burgeoning pop singer Em Rossi, a worldwide influencer on singing app Smule who announced a deal with Sony Music in late 2019 and S. Florida’s The Haunt who quickly amassed 3.5 million Spotify plays positioning Stein to turn their viral success into an opening spot for Rock darlings Palaye Royale on their 2018 European, Canadian and US Tours.

Wednesday, January 8, 2025, 7:00 Pacific, SongNet Presents Music Placement Specialist Joanne Ledesma
This event has been postponed until a later date due to complications with Los Angeles fires.
Hope you’re havin’ fun!
Wednesday, January 8th Music Placement specialist JOANNE LEDESMA will once again be our guest speaker, and it’s FREE!
One of our more popular industry guests, we’ve known her since her days at other companies programming music for airlines, businesses, Presidents and more, and her starting up & developing one of the largest music libraries in the world. Joanne knows this business like no other, and produces projects and events that also help keep her in touch with the real world too. She is the only guest speaker we have twice a year for sure because she is so popular and provides up to the second information!
Any other questions you can hit us directly @ songnetshowcase@gmail.com
YES THIS IS A PITCH NITE SO PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SUBMISSION DETAILS IF YOU WANT TO BE HEARD!
Send an MP3 FILE with a lyric sheet FILE to songnetshowcase@gmail.com No later than Tuesday. Anything else will NOT BE USED. This is because we need fast standard formats & though we know there are better sounding ways to do this, time is more important in this context, and if our industry guests like something they will contact you directly.
We will not have live performances for this one because for placement purposes, material is always needed “yesterday”, and if you can’t have it here and now, oh well. 300 others will.
When you log in on Wednesday, be sure to pay attention to the chat box, because if there is a problem that is where information will appear, and of course you can have running commentary with other attendees there, great for collaboration!
The event is free but the information is PRICELESS!
