#gsctuesdaytipday
Today’s GSC Tuesday Tip also includes something to make you smile!

When creating songs for the film, TV, or sync markets, it's important to consider your audience. If your song includes several curse words, it's highly beneficial to also produce a clean version. Many music supervisors typically request a clean version, so during your studio sessions, make sure to capture both versions. This will enhance your song's marketability and ensure it meets various licensing needs.

And now…for the smile factor! (I am sending this one out to GSC Member Annabella Gelmetti!)

What do you call clean music?

A soap opera!

Make it a great Tuesday!

This Monday we're featuring GSC international member Eric Reinhart from Alberta, Canada. At the age of four, Eric slept in the cupboard of his parents' band tour bus, traveling with them and soaking in their experiences as he aspired to become an artist. Fast-forward to today, and Eric has performed at over 250 schools across western Canada. Now 21 years old, he is a pop-rock songwriter, artist, and speaker who channels the sounds and energy of John Mayer, Justin Bieber, and Keith Urban.

In 2022, Eric had the privilege of performing at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta, where he provided music for the Pope's visit to Canada. He shares his life-changing message, "You’re Not Alone," with youth through music, speaking, and multimedia, making a positive impact wherever he goes. Check out Eric's reel on YouTube and follow him on Instagram to keep up with his music journey.
