Musync^®: You Need Better Music!

Music Genius

Seb Jarakian is the head Musync Genius who supervises all final music track selections. His extensive experience working with music sets him apart from most, but his memory for the right music track cuts the selection process to near nothingness.

His expansive knowledge of all types of music including, but not limited to, electronica, dance, trance, chill-out, downbeat, abstract, electro, ambient, house, world, rock, alternative, modern rock, new wave, classical, hip-hop, 20’s, 30’s and 40’s jazz, popular, (but not country-western), has put him ahead of most music supervisors and music directors. He has a wide range of abilities with a focus on listening to and evaluating 20 to 30 new CDs every week.

He has worked deeply with numerous challenging and demanding personalities, as well as very tight deadlines and budgets. Seb is a good manager and has broad experience collaborating with project teams. He works well under pressure and meets deadlines while staying calm.

CEO & Chief Evangelist

Randy Schroeder is the evangelist for Musync. He assists Seb and the other Musync team members as a behind-the-scenes advisor. He helps instigate relationships that lubricate the gears of the company using collaboration, cooperation, win/win, and humor. He is the Marketing Director and CEO of Musync.

His depth of experience in media consulting, broadcast television production for ABC, and multimedia production for BlueWave, gives him the skills to bring the right people together in order to instigate successful projects that work well for everyone involved.

Music Catalogist

Phoebe Meharg is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley where she majored in mass communications.

She joined the team at Musync last year and is in training to be a music supervisor or, as we like to say, Music Genius.

Phoebe has been passionate about music for many years. Borderline obsessed, really. Her favorite genres include early 70’s punk, hip-hop, indie rock, and twee pop. Whether talking about it, listening to it, researching it, reading about it, or buying it, there is not a lot of time that goes by when she is not actively engaged with music in one form or another.

In the future, Phoebe hopes to fuse her love of music with her love of films and become a full-fledged music supervisor for Musync. Her ultimate goal is to expose as many people as possible to the music that she loves and to the bands and artists that she thinks need and deserve attention.

Sales Guru

While working in the syndication business in the late 1990’s, Mark Pariser realized the growing opportunities in the music licensing arena.

Mark decided to pursue this direction in his career by taking a job at the largest music library in the world, APM (Associated Production Music). Right away, he became one of the top salespeople in the company. Mark left APM to become the Head of Sales of a smaller boutique company, Extreme Music, where he also excelled.

Four years later, Mark took his experience and contacts and started his own rep firm, 7 Out Music. Now in his 4th year, Mark has established himself as a one of the premiere music licensing sales reps in the country. He works with ad agencies, production companies, trailer houses, music supervisors, movie studios, and televisions networks. Mark’s catalogs have been featured in Die Hard 3, Eragon, and August Rush.” He provided track for multiple TV shows, including Ugly Betty, My Name is Earl, Without a Trace, Ghost Whisperer, and How I Met Your Mother. And Mark’s selections can be heard on national commercials for BMW, Burger King, Subway, Honda, and Ford, to name a few.

Mark joined the team at Musync in 2007 and continues licensing great tracks for great productions.
