Music on MTV's 16 and Pregnant

IMG_2705.JPG

It finally happened!

I got an email from my music licensing rep that the MTV show, 16 and Pregnant is using "I"ll Stay With You", a song that me and Mike Meiers wrote together, in the Tuesday, April 6th Episode!! I can’t wait to see how they use the song in the episode! Music is like another character in the show. It sets the tone and the emotion for the scene.

If you’ve been following my journey you know that licensing my songs in TV Shows is a big focus for me. I’ve been building my catalog the past 2 years, working with a ton of talented producers, educating myself, going to music conferences, meeting music supervisors, connecting with people, pitching my songs at listening sessions, writing and releasing a song a month, promoting everything myself, sending out hundreds of emails and more… It’s hard some days to keep your eyes on the prize. It’s hard to know if all the time spent is one day going to pay off, but IT DOES!

One thing I’ve learned in this journey is you just have to keep going. Don’t worry about what other people are doing, keep your goals in front of you and chip away at them one thing at a time.

This is the 9th song I’ve had on a TV Show. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but for real, how many people do you know with songs on TV?!?! I’m celebrating the little wins along the way!

If you can, tune in to 16 and Pregnant on MTV Tuesday, April 6th!! Also, Check out I’ll Stay With You on all Streaming Platforms Here: https://www.distrokid.com/hyperfollow/heatherevans/ill-stay-with-you

Thank you for being on this journey with me!!
