History
Epitome Music Library (EML) was discovered, and then meticulously extracted from the mind of Ben Kopec. After launching in the summer of 2006, EML became an instant threat to some of the biggest production music libraries in the world. Continuing to be at the vanguard of a musical revolution, EML continues to reinvent themselves to meet the needs of a continuously dynamic marketplace.
EML also works with some of the best musicians in LA and therefore, these musicians been featured in some of EML's recent CDs entitled Metal Mayhem and Delta Blues Rock Fusion.
Epitome Music Library has a publishing company with ASCAP called Jukebox Johnny, BMI called Bio Mechanical Music, and SESAC called Cosmic Harmony. All of these affiliations make sure that the artists get paid properly when a song is licensed for synchronization to an audio / video production. EML's main business model is "a “per-use” library, meaning you have to pay for each time you use a song in your Production." EML also offers what are known as "blanket" licenses to many television networks.
