Well, Mikael is my middlename and my surname is unusual so it made some sense! 
I have my music in RF libraries such as Getty Music (former Pump Audio) and some exclusive libraries such as Lab Hits.
Anyway, nowdays I try to rebrand myself as trailer-music artist and want to do some game music aswell since I do not think that djing and performing is not my cup of tea.

Ah I see! =)
- Hmm isnât Getty Music exclusive these days? I think I checked them out not that long ago.
Haha, yes many of us composers want to get into the trailer industry, especially since it is one of the few with really good money still.
Not sure actually, I havenât sent any new music lately. Actually most licensed track is from 2003!
Yeah, Trailer-music pays maybe the most right now besides of scoring, but you just canât go and score. I just finished my trailer-album couple of months ago and have few tracks about to come, hopefully with big bang because it is going thru my biggest dream currently! And I hope that afterall these delays theyâll come soon out.
Oh you already have an album ready! Congratulations! Which labels are you pitching it to? Or did you already find a partner library?
Thank you!
I did pitch some music for Extreme and maybe two other, but I am not really good at sending demos so this is pretty good thing tho.
My album came thru with Moon and Sun Music and another few tracks are awaited to come!
I made this post where I list the Trailer Music labels I know, but if you know more you can add it to a comment in that post!

Hey all! Iâm Phil Stokes. First of all, thanks Mike Baggström for creating this community :).
I mostly do 3 things.
- Composer
- Songwriter
- Producer
I am blessed that people are willing to pay me regularly to do these 3 things so I can make a living for my family. I also do film editing and have been a music supervisor for a couple of movies. But my passion is always musical composition, of course.
I look forward to conversing with my fellow composers. We can share the joy, the challenges, and the techniques weâve learned as composers in the modern industry.

Welcome Phil, and great to have you join us here! =)
I am glad to hear about your success, and very interesting that you have experience in film production too.
I just listened to your final track with the DAW screencast. And I loved the dynamics and open sound so much! I need to get better at that myselfâŠitâs always easy to fill up a canvas, harder to put restraints on yourself and only open up the music when called for!
Sincerely,

Hello Mamoune, super happy to have you join the composer community! =)
I also started with EDM mainly, and now focus on cinematic/orchestral music.
I listened to your music, and I really liked that horror cue. Very dark, brooding atmosphere, and the twisted piano that briefly entered was so good!
Do you have a website too btw?
Thank you for the warm welcome Mikeal!
No Iâm still thinking about making one. I think I should really do that fast

Welcome Venn, super glad to have you here, and Iâve seen you are already very active, thank you! =)
Oh you play the bass guitar, wow, I love a good bass groove! I am basically only a piano/keys player, wanting to learn guitar (and bass too). 
Sincerely

Hello!
My name is JoĂŁo LuĂs and I compose soundtracks. I have worked for a 3-time Emmy nominee composer in America, returned to Portugal and have worked on a diversity of projects since. Itâs hard to pinpoint a specific music style as I try to provide the project with its own musical palette.
I have been doing this since 2010 and it is something that I absolutely love, mainly because I think it keeps us from growing skeptical and old.
I enjoy learning from others as well as helping others, so feel free to hit me up if you ever need help with anything.

Hello and welcome Joao, super nice having you in the community! =)
I agree with your philosophy, music makes us remain curious, adventurous and young in heart and mind.
I just listened to your music, and I find it very dynamic and emotional. I like the soft passages that breaths. Portuguese Discoverers was amazing, it had that joyful sense of adventure, with forward momentum and feeling of excitement and discoveries awaiting. Great music my friend!
PS. I hope you consider bookmarking this community website in your web browser to remember to come back. I would love having you become an active member in this composer community!
Sincerely,
Mike
That is very kind of you, Mikael! I appreciate your words and have just bookmarked this page. Hope to be able to contribute in whatever way I can. If I ever disappear for a bit (keeping up online is not my strongest suit) to feel free to poke me.

Hi there,
I am Julia Lesnichy and I am a Russian born professional artist working in oils and pastels for around 20 years. You can see my art at http://julialesnichyart.com.
I am from Moscow, Russia where I received a BA in English and German in the Moscow Linguistic university in 1992 and worked as a translator/interpreter for a while.
I went to music school as a teenager and know the basics of music theory, music history and can play the piano and a bit of guitar. I started writing songs at the age of 15, both music and lyrics. I also loved to improvise on the piano.
I was writing music on notation sheets now and then, was taking lessons in voicing, butI about two years ago I happened to come across Ableton software and started writing music using mostly Spitfire sound libraries. I am into classical, ambient, epic genres. I am studying orchestration on my own and constantly studying modes and voicing. I beleive profound knowledge of music theory is pivotal in writing good music.
You can listen to my music here http://soundcloud.com/jlesnichy

Welcome Julia, Iâm so glad to see you in the community!
That is so amazing that you do both visual arts and music arts. From notation sheets to Ableton, that is quit a leap haha.
I agree that music theory is very important, as long as the actual performance is written with your heart and emotions of course, which I can completely hear in your music.
Please jump in and read the various topics and discussions in this community, reply and share your perspective, start new topics, and have fun. I hope you will become an active member Julia.
Sincerely,
Mike

Welcome Vlad, Iâm so glad to have you here! Wow! You really have a lot of projects going on.
