The Power of Multi-Genre Production: Unlocking More Sync Briefs and Global Royalties at Elizabeth Music Group

At Elizabeth Music Group, we believe that adaptability is one of the most powerful tools a music producer can develop. While having a signature sound helps define your identity, learning to produce across multiple genres opens far more opportunities — especially when it comes to sync licensing, publishing royalties, and long-term career growth.

1. More Sync Opportunities Through EMG

Inside our exclusive Discord community, producers signed to Elizabeth Music Group see sync briefs every week that span across genres. One project might call for dark, moody hip-hop; the next might need upbeat indie-pop or cinematic orchestral textures. If you can only produce in one style, you’ll miss out on briefs worth thousands of dollars. But if you can confidently create in multiple genres, you’ll be able to pitch for far more opportunities — giving yourself a greater chance of landing placements that generate upfront sync fees and publishing royalties on the backend.

2. Publishing Royalties From Every Angle

The more genres you work in, the more doors you open to performance royalties, mechanical royalties, and global earnings. Different styles resonate in different territories: EDM might thrive in Europe, while Afrobeat dominates in Africa and the UK, and Americana has strong sync pull in U.S. film and television. By producing in multiple genres, you increase your worldwide royalty potential — and Elizabeth Music Group ensures those royalties are collected for you across all markets.

3. Skill Building That Makes You Stand Out

Every genre teaches you something new. Dance music sharpens your sound design and low-end mixing. Acoustic and folk train your ear for natural dynamics. Pop forces you to refine structure and hooks. Hip-hop improves rhythm and groove. By practicing across genres, you become a more well-rounded producer — and that makes your catalog stronger and more competitive when EMG pitches your music to supervisors.

4. Staying Ahead of Trends

Music trends change quickly. One year sync supervisors are looking for synthwave, the next year it’s hyperpop, the next it’s jazz-infused lofi. Producers who only know one lane risk being left behind. Producers who adapt across genres stay relevant and can quickly respond to new briefs and opportunities. At Elizabeth Music Group, we encourage roster members to experiment, because flexibility keeps you future-proof.

5. Creativity & Longevity

Producing the same style over and over can lead to burnout. Exploring different genres keeps your creativity alive and can even spark new career directions. Many EMG producers discover that branching into genres they never expected leads to placements, collaborations, and revenue streams they never imagined.

Final Thoughts

At Elizabeth Music Group, we give our roster access to sync briefs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars every month across all genres. The producers who see the most success are the ones who aren’t afraid to step outside their comfort zone and deliver music that works for a wide range of projects.

If you’re a producer looking to maximize your publishing royalties, land sync placements, and grow as a creator, learning to produce multiple genres isn’t just a creative choice — it’s a career strategy. And with EMG handling your publishing, you’ll know your royalties are collected worldwide, no matter what style of music you create.
