August 26, 2021 – Los Angeles, CA -- MUSICdise, a music marketing, merchandising, and licensing agency launches online at www.musicdise.com with the promise of a more creative and personable approach. Founded by Hollywood designer Philip Warbasse and incubated at Warbasse Media, MUSICdise offers creative assets to help artists stand out and professional representation to get them in front of the right people for merchandising and sync deals.
The growth of digital entertainment provides new licensing opportunities every day, but many unsigned artists find themselves overwhelmed at the prospect of marketing their music. Warbasse insists that colossal music licensing websites only obscure unsigned artists by adding them to a never-ending list of musicians hoping to get discovered. "I see the need to stay small," says Warbasse, "to be keenly aware of the artists and songs I represent, to know the lyrics, tempo, and temperature. In a world where everyone is their own media center, and the noise level has reached a fever level pitch, I believe that different is better than better."

Warbasse, who has over twenty years of experience as a media agency owner with numerous high-profile clients, claims success starts with one's approach. According to Warbasse, the difference at MUSCdise is the creative approach taken to position each client. "We use digital codes to deliver music quickly from our creative one-sheets that include information designed to simplify the music selection process," says Warbasse.
When it comes to getting sync deals for unsigned acts, Warbasse isn't worried. "The music supervisors that I know have a lot of personal integrity, and they will fight for an unsigned artist if they think their song is a good fit for the project," says Warbasse. Explaining that film directors and studios have confidence in their music supervisors who understand unsigned artists can help balance a soundtrack and budget.
MUSICdise offers creative representation that helps their clients stand out while insulating them from the emotional toll that the business side of entertainment can take. MUSICdise's first signed artist is publisher turned musician Tod Lippy. Previously featured on KCRW and warmly received by critics, Tod Lippy has established himself as an artist on the rise with his sophomore release, YEARBOOK.
Lippy, the creator, and force behind arts magazine ESOPUS explains his relationship with Warbasse and MUSICdise. "Phil was a reader of ESOPUS way back when — I believe he first subscribed in 2007," says Lippy. "He was always so enthusiastic and supportive of that venture, and when he reached out to me after he'd put a couple of my songs from the first album on a Spotify playlist, I was thrilled to hear from him. I had no idea the amount of work he would put into promoting me and my music via Musicdise, and I have been consistently blown away (and delighted) by the brilliant concepts he's come up with to get the word out. He's clearly a superb designer and marketing expert, and I feel like I hit the jackpot having the opportunity to work with (and learn from) him. He gives you the feeling that he is 100% devoted to your work, which is a rare and beautiful thing," concludes Lippy.
