Gratis Composers and Clients

I am often amazed about how blessed Gratis Music is. 

First, to have the finest composers contributing music to our library.  I am talking about 45 songwriters and composers -- when we started we had eleven.  Some of this amazing talent came to us from overseas as international composers have found us through the Gratis Music website "submit music" page and our Myspace presence.  We now have composers from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada and even Beijing.  All of the composers writing for Gratis are awesome and we are proud to represent their music to our clients.

Second, to have grown as quickly as we have as a company while maintaining quality and personal service to our clients.  I can't tell you how important this is to us.  We don't aspire to become too big where we can't return phone calls quickly and have a handle on all of our music so we know what to recommend.  In our book the client still, and always will, comes first.  Likewise, we will continue to grow the Gratis Music catalogue to meet our client's needs but we will never sacrifice the quality or content of the music just to have more tracks.

Third and last, to have so many new customers that are using our product in the marketplace.  We started out by scoring independent pictures with the library and quickly grew a name for ourselves in this arena but as our catalogue continued to grow we began doing business with ad agencies, networks and cable companies.  Most recently we have launched a product for the internet and wireless industries.  There really isn't any music niche we can't fill as we now have 85 different categories of music on 99 Virtual CDs (the equivalent to 360 standard CDs).  We wish to thank our clients who have supported our efforts thus far.
