Lauren Brinker is a native of Hollywood, CA, with over 15 years of experience in the field of sync music clearance and licensing for all types of media. 

Having learned her craft from industry veteran David Powell of The Music Bridge, Lauren was enlisted by the music department of Warner Bros. Television to work on dozens of its scripted series. Following her tenure at Warner Bros., Lauren applied her talents to the acclaimed music production collective, Sonic Rooster, in the areas of music consulting and marketing. Her deep knowledge of the complexities of negotiating the use of copyrighted music for all types of media has resulted in longstanding relationships with myriad publishers, labels, and music libraries, as well as content creators. As a musician, Lauren possesses a deep love and profound understanding of many genres of music, which fuels her insatiable appetite for discovering new music. As such, she understands and appreciates the impact of a well-placed piece of music into any given project.
