PitchShiftRecords
An independent label and sync house built on the one promise this business keeps breaking: we only say yes when we can deliver.
Relationships first. Rights already clean. No noise, ever.
PitchShift places songs in film and television the way it was always supposed to work: a real listen, an honest read, and a pitch that only happens when a song genuinely serves the scene. We don't blast catalogs, we don't chase trends, and we never send unsolicited work — every pitch arrives invited, cleared, and ready to license.
One-stop, truly
Master and publishing answerable in a single email. Every song we represent is cleared on both sides before it's ever played for anyone.
The honest read
Our own analysis engine and thirty years of placement instinct tell us where a song actually belongs — and when the honest answer is "this one isn't the fit," we say so.
Delivery-ready
Instrumentals, TV mixes, stems, and complete metadata with contact information embedded — prepared before the first conversation, delivered within hours, not days.
Artist-first
Our artists keep their masters, their publishing, and the wheel. We're a label that works for the music — not the other way around.
Founded by a working artist the supervisors already know.
Keaton Simons — recording artist, film composer, and songwriter with thirty years inside this business: major-label and independent, on stage and in the writing room, sideman to legends and a solo career of his own. His catalog has been licensed extensively across television and film — including Suits and Sons of Anarchy, placements still earning their keep a decade on.
PitchShift exists to give artists what the industry keeps promising and rarely delivers: a platform that finally answers the questions no one addresses, and offers solutions where they're most often lacking — how songs actually get placed, how rights stay clean, how the work gets valued. The reins go back into the hands of the creatives. That's the whole idea.
One email. Both sides cleared. Your rules, followed.
We know what lands in your inbox all day, and we built this house to be the opposite of it:
- Every song is one-stop — ownership confirmed in writing before we pitch it.
- Streaming links that download, never attachments. Contact info lives in the file metadata.
- Instrumental and TV mixes exist before you ask. Stems on request, same day.
- Human-made, provenance-clean music — writers we know personally, sessions we can vouch for.
- One follow-up, then silence until there's something new worth your time.
If you'd like a green-light relationship — where we only reach out when something truly fits a brief — that's exactly how we prefer to work.
