Hannah Benson is a
producer, DJ, and sound artist
turned sync agent from LA. With 10
years of experience working in all aspects of the music industry – from record labels and radio
stations to streaming services, events, tours, and eventually as an artist and DJ – Hannah’s had the
opportunity to dip their fingers in all sorts of local and global scenes.
The nature of working with independent music is generally an uphill battle, but Hannah’s passion for
the music they represent is endless! After working for a successful indie label for years and seeing
how sync changed the name of the game for a number of artists, they decided to start a sync agency
to be able to offer this opportunity to a wide variety of labels and artists that they believe are
not getting the attention they deserve.
Matt Mansfield is a musician, producer, and sound engineer
turned label manager and music industry
jack of all trades. He maintains a studio in the small city of Clarkston, Georgia, on the outskirts
of Atlanta, where he produces music as Piper Street Sound. With over twenty years of recording,
mixing, performing, and touring experience as bassist, live dub engineer, and producer; as well as 8
years working in record label management with the pioneering ZZK Records, Mansfield has dug deeply
through both newly emerging sounds and the old, obscure, and forgotten. In this process of delving,
he has evolved into a creature of instinctive musical creation, and habitual organization.
Through the years of Matt’s experience working with, and observing songwriters, musicians,
producers, and labels; a common thread emerged: disorganization. The complexity of the structures
that make up the music industry became apparent, and the investment of time required to decipher
them contrasted with the time available to the independent artists while continuing to create,
record, play shows, and promote themselves. Settling into a domestic lifestyle and leaving the live
music world after becoming a father in 2012, increasingly understanding and handling the myriad of
administrative responsibilities that artists face has become a passion.
