We are a team of six co-workers and a couple of high specialized regular freelancers that works for around 100 active artists with a repertoire of around 6,000 titles. Hence we know our catalogue very well and are able to offer a broad service to every artist. We enjoy working with artists who we actually like and who we support by heart.
Kick The Flame represents a wide range of music. Our excellent ratio of manpower and catalogue size as well as the highly diverse repertoire allows us to work with a very well curated catalogue. This is the reason for our high reputation, especially among music supervisors we've worked with. We are able to pitch the perfect fit to their briefs.
