Sync Producer Spotlight: Nate Michalic

Join the award-winning Sync Producer Hub

In this episode, Nate Michalic joins host Jason Dowty for the first Sync Producer Spotlight. Nate shares his musical journey from learning trombone and falling in love with jazz to studying music business and transitioning into production and live sound. He discusses breaking into sync licensing, the value of community and networking in the Sync Producer Hub, and his approach to writing music for TV and film.

Nate talks about his recent successes — being accepted into a library and contributing to ongoing projects — collaboration with artists like Wavy Baby, practical tips for pitching, mixing/mastering basics, and balancing a 9-to-5 while treating music as a job. He closes with advice on staying consistent, treating music like a business, and continuing to grow in sync licensing.
