Suno is everywhere right now but is it actually helping songwriters, or quietly sabotaging their careers? In this episode, Mike and Matty Finn dive deep into AI music generation, breaking down why relying on Suno might feel like a shortcut but is actually shooting yourself in the foot if you're serious about songwriting as a career.

In this episode, I sit down with music supervisor Jessica Gramuglia to talk about what's actually happening on the other side of that inbox.

Jess has worked in music supervision at Warner Brothers TV and has seen thousands of cold emails from songwriters, publishers, and artists trying to land sync placements.

She's not holding back. We break down the emails that get instantly filed into her "Who Are You?" folder, why following up aggressively is killing your chances, and why AI-generated pitch emails are making things worse, not better.

But this isn't just about what NOT to do. Jess shares the one email that actually worked perfectly (hint: it involved Maren Morris before she was famous), what makes her want to actually listen to your music, and why relationships will always beat cold pitches in sync licensing.

If you’re a songwriter trying to get your music placed in TV, film, or ads, this is the episode you need to hear before you send another email.

This podcast has been downloaded over 100,000 times. And I almost deleted it. I took a 7-month break. I coach songwriters on showing up every day and I wasn't doing it myself. No consistent system, even for the guy teaching systems.

In this episode, I'm being honest about what happened, why I almost killed the whole thing, and what's changing now. If you've been stuck, sitting on half-finished songs, or waiting for the "right time" to start, this one's for you.
