At Heron Music, we are passionate experts in the field of composing and producing music for advertising and (feature)film. We pride ourselves on our commitment to lifting the veil on the often ambiguous world of music composition for picture by treating this profession as an expertise. By fostering transparency and open communication about our expertise, we build trust with our clients, resulting in the best and most creative end results.

Our primary goal is to provide you with the highest quality custom music that perfectly captures the essence of your brand or brings your film vision to life. We believe that by creating an atmosphere of collaboration and openness, we can achieve even greater outcomes. That’s why our music studio and working space are designed to welcome our clients, allowing everyone to join us during the creative process. 

We believe in transparency and fairness when it comes to our pricing and services. Unlike the standard buyout fees starting at 6 months, we charge solely for the use of our artistic property during active media push. We don’t believe in charging for exclusivity when you’ve made the conscious decision to entrust an expert for custom music and sound.

We understand that every project is unique, and we tailor our services to meet your specific needs. Whether you require a custom musical composition in any genre, sound effects that breathe life into your visuals, the perfect voice-over to convey your message, or a polished final mix, we have you covered.

At Heron Music, we constantly fine-tune our musical and auditory skills and techniques, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of the industry. We are continuously expanding our musical horizons and collaborating with experts in various genres, enabling us to offer a wide range of options to suit your unique requirements. We have bespoke music composition deals with several artists, musicians, instrumentalists and singers. Also, we can provide our clients with the most exclusive licensing and brand deals with music and artists signed by Cloud 9 Music. 

Founded by Guido Maat and Ella Sonke in 2020 right in the middle of the first COVID-19 lockdown, Heron Music is a family business that embodies the spirit of creativity and collaboration. Guido and Ella’s shared journey since 2007, alongside their two young children, has shaped their commitment to creating music that evokes emotion and leaves a lasting legacy. For them there is no difference between work- and private life and that’s just how they like it.
