Help and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1) What makes Triple Scoop Music different than other "royalty-free" music licensing companies?
For starters, We're the only music licensing company that was founded specifically for professional photographers and videographers. While most "royalty-free" music libraries offer generic sounding tracks created in small project studios, Triple Scoop Music offers real songs from some of the music world's most talented songwriters, recorded in some of the music industry's top recording studios. We're proud to say that many of the world's top photographers and videographers are using our music.
Want some examples? Check out the song "For My Wedding Day" by Larry J McNally. This song was covered by Don Henley of the Eagles and we're proud to offer Larry's music to you. Or listen to Emmy winner Faith Rivera and her song "Your Love." The song was co-written by Grammy winning songwriter Zuriani.
Other inspiring examples include two-time Grammy winner Daniel Ho, plus amazing songs by acclaimed artists as diverse as J'Nae, Jamie Green, Austin Willacy, Brenda Harp, Jonny Blu, Violaine, Ken Williams and Seth Hartman.
