The Victorian Music Finder, a new digital platform, is making it easier than ever to discover and license sync-ready music from Victorian artists.
The Victorian Music Development Office (VMDO), in partnership with Level Two Music, has launched the Victorian Music Finder, a purpose-built platform that streamlines how Victorian music is discovered, accessed and licensed.
“The Victorian Music Finder is an investment in the Victorian music ecosystem. While users benefit from streamlined access to high-quality, sync-ready music, local musicians gain increased visibility and direct licensing opportunities,” said VMDO General Manager, Kirsty Rivers.
The Victorian Music Finder helps you find, listen to and select Victorian music and Level Two will ensure that you are connected with the copyright owners for licensing.
A key focus of the VMDO is strengthening Victoria’s music industry by creating sustainable revenue opportunities for local artists, composers and rights holders. The Victorian Music Finder supports this goal by offering a centralised, curated library of music by artists from or based in Victoria, and making it easier for organisations to license local music for their projects.
The Victorian Music Finder is powered by DISCO, a cloud-based music catalogue management and discovery platform founded in Victoria. Trusted globally by top music supervisors, labels, publishers and artist managers, DISCO hosts over 140 million tracks and delivers an industry-standard user experience designed to support seamless collaboration and licensing workflows.
Tailored for government agencies, advertising firms, production companies and content creators across film, television, games and broadcast, the Victorian Music Finder allows users to search by genre, create playlists and explore curated collections within an intuitive interface built to spotlight Victorian talent.
To support the rollout, Level Two Music will offer concierge-style services, including guided searches and licensing administration with the relevant rights holders. With over two decades of experience in music supervision, Level Two works with leading clients across the creative industries and will ensure users are fully supported throughout the process.
“As both Level Two and DISCO were founded in Victoria, it’s incredibly rewarding to support this local-first initiative with global reach. DISCO powers discovery and connects the world’s leading music professionals and now, through the Victorian Music Finder, it’s celebrating music talent from across Victoria,” said Level Two and DISCO Founder and CEO, Karl Richter.
This launch comes at a pivotal time. According to The Bass Line report from Music Australia, synchronisation licensing generated $64 million for the Australian music industry in 2023, highlighting its growing significance as a revenue stream for artists and labels.
The Victorian Music Finder represents a new model for industry development – driving economic growth through increased investment in music, connecting decision-makers directly with Victorian-made content and enabling tangible commercial opportunities for the local music ecosystem.
