About Dan Hegarty

I'm a dedicated, passionate music industry veteran with over 20 years of experience in the business, composition, management, performance and instruction of music. I'm a graduate of UCLA Extension's Film Scoring program, which I completed while working as the Manager of Copyright Licensing and Royalties at Concord. I joined Word Collections in 2021 as the Director of Royalty Administration and Income Tracking. I have also worked for The Harry Fox Agency, Warner Music Group and APM Music, in addition to academic institutions such as Los Angeles City College and Musicians Institute. My background in music education, licensing and publishing made me more than "the drummer" in my bands and also taught me how to negotiate and protect the assets that I create as a media composer. My goals are to serve the music, my collaborators, and our audience, while contributing to the growth and success of our communities, projects, and teams.Specialties include Music Licensing, Royalties, Copyright, Record Maestro, Logic Pro, Sibelius, Adobe Pro, MS Office, and iWork. I'm a member of ASCAP, The Society Of Composers & Lyricists (SCL), the Vic Firth Private Drum Teacher Program (PDT), the American Society of Music Arrangers and Composers (ASMAC), the Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.), the Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) and the Academy Of Scoring Arts (ASA). I am available to musicians, students, or anyone else who needs for consultation services or any help with music contracts, finding internships/educational opportunities, and/or career development.
