SYNC OR SWIM MUSIC CONFERENCES 

"I joined Robbie's Sync or Swim Music as a member on the recommendation of songwriter friend. I very quickly realized that this group would be different for me.  With weekly songwriting challenges (SWARC) that helped me dive into different emotions, along with encouragement to go back to my roots as an acoustic guitarist, I’ve found myself writing some of my most authentic songs. In the sharing sessions with the group, Robbie allows for feedback from both the group and expert feedback from himself.  Robbie is a singer-songwriter, performer, composer and producer himself, and has had a lot of success in the sync industry.  He is therefore able to give feedback based on all of those components.  Robbie is able to comment on everything from EQ to song structure to the length of the song and its marketability. I highly recommend Robbie's group if you're looking to level up your writing and producing!" Chrissy Roberts (singer-songwriter)

"Robbie cultivates an environment of authenticity and kindness. He works hard to ensure participants are heard and feel valued. During the course of a Sync or Swim workshop, I had the opportunity to have my music reviewed by two music industry people. I found the feedback to be both practical, sincere but delivered in a professional manner. I look forward to working with Robbie in my future endeavors and am grateful for the community he created."  Jaynee Weber (musical creator/topliner)

"Robbie is super knowledgable, friendly and the event was fully inclusive. I really enjoyed attending the Sync Or Swim Event in May 2022, and met so many likeminded creatives. I was able to learn new things about Sync placements, learn from some of the best in the industry, as well as the chance to network and collaborate!! Thanks so much for having me, I will be back again for sure" Saskhia Menendez (MA International Music Marketing)

"Robbie really understands the sync process from multiple vantage points which I believe is essential when gaining wisdom in a rapidly evolving field.  Sync or Swim Music is a great networking opportunity too!  Very organized, yet casual enough to dive deep into asking questions, sharing art and meeting future creators/collaborators. Genuinely enjoyed my time. Thank you for creating this moment for us." Brit Fox (Award-Winning Songwriter/Producer)

Industry Pro Testimonials

"It's been a great pleasure participating in the latest Sync Or Swim Music Event. As a 25 year veteran of the production music space, I greatly appreciate Robbie Hancock's professionalism and dedication. The information shared at his events is invaluable." - Matt Hirt

"Sync or Swim Music Events" are one of the best new ways to get pertinent and relevant information on all things related to modern day sync-music creation and licensing. It is also a great way to connect with like-minded creators and cultivate new partnerships. In just one, single, hour-long session, I personally witnessed four new collaboration hook-ups. The networking events are well worth any serious music creator's time." - Dean Krippaehne, Seattle WA (songwriter, artist, producer and author of "Demystifying the Cue")

-

"Robbie's Sync or Swim Music events are an amazing way for both aspiring composers and seasoned pros to learn the ins and outs of the music licensing business with a plethora of extremely high level speakers and well thought out interviews, Robbie has assembled some top notch fire power and presents it all in a single marathon weekend. I've never seen anything like this outside of a massively funded music conference. I'm amazing what Robbie has put together!" Matt Vander Boegh - TV Composer, Idaho, USA
