Fundamental Music began in 2003 as a company dedicated to making great music available for all types of licensing, at all price points.
Our goal when we started the company was to build a catalog entirely of independent music from artists, producers and composers. All of our tracks are one-stop licensing. We have thousands of songs from numerous genres.
In 2007, we opened our own studio, Micro Lab, to do custom work, production and scoring.
In 2009, we landed a number of commercial spots with original music. Paul Mitchell, Zappos, Sears, Irish Spring, Skechers and others (Samples of these are on the Placements page).
In 2011, we have expanded what we do to represent labels and publishing companies for licensing. But, the spirit is still the same: great music.
