HEY ELEMENTARY FANS
Did you like the music on the pilot screener? One of the main repeated tracks is Optimist by Zoe Keating. Sheâs a supercool independent musician who layers her cello by using a loop pedal and a computer. Iâve seen her do it live and itâs pretty amazeballs.
You know whatâs less cool? The fact that CBS used her music in the screener without a license. Which means she didnât get paid for it being in the screener. (And in fact didnât know it had been used at all until it got tweeted at her.)
Keep in mind Zoe releases all her music independently, ie. isnât signed onto any label. This is super sad because if she were signed onto a major label I feel like theyâd be all over that.Â
You should tweet/email CBS about keeping Zoeâs music for the Elementary premier if you liked it! At the very least I thought I should drum up some publicity on her behalf for having her music in the screener, and get her some more fans because she wasnât paid anything for the music she provided.
