What clients say
“I really enjoy working with Renato because he's fast and a problem-solver.”
Juli Berkes
Proton Film
“My film was very music-heavy, 80s retro hits. Everything depended on getting those tracks, and we had very little budget. Renato got them.”
Daniel Tiszeker
Director
“Big clients want big songs for their ads, often with very tight deadlines. The whole team gets nervous about that part of the job, but not Renato. He gets it done.”

Clearance stories
Every track has a story. Here are a few that started good conversations.
Plastic Bertrand · Ca Plane Pour Moi
Legal dispute over authorship and cover versions; multiple claimants. We navigated publisher and writer splits for a European campaign.
Devo · Gut Feeling
Synth-forward track with multiple samples and writer shares. Cleared for a tech brand with territory carve-outs.
Moby · Lift Me Up
High-profile sync; sample and master rights had to align across labels. Used for a global campaign with long lead time.
John Denver · Leaving on a Jet Plane
Classic with complex inheritance and multiple publishers. Cleared for a documentary with limited theatrical and streaming.
