When it comes to music rights, Ivan Chandler is a maestro. His depth of knowledge of musical history, copyright, clearances, contracts and contacts are second to none.

Working with Musicalities to clear some complicated rights for a large-scale project has been an invaluable help. Ivan’s clear and consistent communication throughout has put us at ease whilst keeping us informed. We could never have achieved the clearance needed in time without Musicalities advice and support and wouldn’t hesitate approaching Ivan again in the future.

Film Expo South (2016) had the pleasure of having Ivan Chandler, Founder & CEO of Musicalities Ltd. address the attendees at our inaugural event.  Ivan is an engaging speaker, very genuine, connects with his audience and we were very lucky to have him support our first event.  We received great feedback from attendees, “lively, energizing, gave clear tips” and we have no hesitation recommending Ivan.  

I have worked with Ivan and Musicalities for many years and they have never failed to deliver on any publishing task and have also created many fantastic opportunities for me as well.  

We like working with Musicalities. They have a deep knowledge of the industry and whatever music licensing problems we have, they help us to resolve them quickly and efficiently, often with “out of the box” thinking.

I have been delighted to work with Ivan and the Musicalities team on a range of film and television projects over some twenty years. Ivan has helped us on feature films with budgets in the millions and short dance films, with budgets barely in the thousands. He is expert, efficient, delightful to work with. Never fazed but always realistic. Over the years I have given his name to a number of other producers – and they are all still working with him too. That, to me, is the mark of a good and long-lasting business relationship.
