Lately, I’ve been hearing from a lot of artists who are struggling with getting their music heard on social media platforms, thanks to some new rules about content ownership. Meta (Instagram, Facebook) and TikTok have decided to crack down on songs that contain non-exclusive content. This means any music featuring loops from sound libraries or non-exclusive beats that were leased could now be flagged or removed.
It’s frustrating, especially when so much time and love go into crafting a track — even if the loop or beat isn’t 100% exclusive. In fact, one of my all-time favorite hip-hop tracks was created with a longstanding client using a leased beat (check it out: Took You For Granted). While these new rules can be discouraging, I might just be able to help you work around them!
As a musician, I’ve been creating custom guitar loops for my own hip-hop beats, and recently, I’ve collaborated with Deep House producers. In fact, some of these tracks have racked up over 50 million streams! While many of these collaborations involved original content, there have been times I had to rework guitar or keys loops — or even an entire instrumental — when a client realized they didn’t have the proper rights to their music.
Below, you’ll find a playlist of some Deep House and Pop tracks featuring guitar hooks I’ve worked on, followed by a playlist of some beats I’ve created myself.
If you’re in need of custom loops, original beats, or help with reworking your content to make sure it’s 100% rights-cleared, feel free to reach out. Let’s chat and get your music to the right place!
