    In this episode I speak with David Elliot Johnson of GearKids WifeHouse & Your Creative Truth about Sync Licensing & being your authentic self.

    David lives in Asheville, NC and Asheville is still in need of our help after the devastating Hurricane. Please consider donating to ⁠Beloved Asheville⁠ to help this wonderful community rebuild.

    David’s reputation both as a world-renowned drummer supporting the biggest names in rock, pop, country, and jazz and as a Multi-Platinum award-winning, Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer, is second to none. With his deep knowledge and understanding of the industry, his creative successes have rewarded him with a global audience reach of nearly 1.4 billion. He believes above all that artists should be treated fairly and should always reap the rewards of their creativity.

    David founded GearKids WifeHouse out of a desire to maximize the potential of his catalog on his own terms. After years of self-administered Top 5 and #1 hits in a variety of countries, he recently opened up the offering of services to his most prolific and inspiring creative friends. Much like his own, their catalogs are filled with honest, emotional, and authentic works. These traits are what define us.

    For the past 20 years, David has been placing and licensing his works beyond the capacity of his catalog representatives. He feels it is time to take his musical offerings back into his own hands. GearKids WifeHouse is a collective of genuine industry leaders helping the community to prosper and continue in its confident growth.
