After last year’s event was such a hit, AIMP LA is thrilled to bring it back for another round of music, connection, and invaluable industry insight.
Join us at Concord Music Publishing’s brand new Beverly Hills office for an evening where attendees will have the exciting opportunity to hear their songs played live and receive real-time feedback from music supervisors and sync creatives. This is a unique chance to gain direct insight into what supervisors are connecting with, what they’re currently looking for, and the kinds of music that are resonating in today’s sync landscape.
Whether you’re a songwriter, composer, publisher, A&R professional, or music industry creative, this is your chance to learn directly from the pros, gain insider perspective, and get your music in front of key ears in the sync world.
Come ready to listen, learn, and connect — and enjoy drinks and snacks while mingling with fellow songwriters, composers, publishers, and music industry professionals in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your community spirit. We can’t wait to see what Season 2 brings!

Michael Pelleg graduated from the University of Miami in 2013 with a degree in Music Business and Entertainment Industries. He is currently working for Disney Television Studios as a Senior Manager – TV Music, where he has been for the last 10 years. During his time with The Walt Disney Company, he’s worked on such shows as Black-ish, The Muppets Mayhem, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Criminal Minds, Once Upon a Time, and Daredevil, among many others (over 150 seasons of TV). Before his time at Disney, he took a rather meandering journey through several different jobs within the music industry, working at a talent agency, artist management company, record label, and concert promoter before landing in the Film/TV music space where he’d always wanted to be. If it weren’t for Lisa Simpson (RIP Bleeding Gums Murphy), he never would have started playing the saxophone as a kid, starting him on his path toward a career in music.
