About Score 33 Music Licensing

Score 33 is a boutique music licensing company founded by lifelong songwriters and producers Stephen Johnstone and Karl Brooks.

With over 25 years of experience in songwriting, production, and performance, we bring together a catalogue of handcrafted music designed exclusively for film, television, advertising, and branded content.

Every song you hear from Score 33 has been written, recorded, and mastered entirely in-house. There are no outside writers, no public-domain material, and no pre-existing catalogue buys — only original compositions crafted from the ground up by real songwriters who understand storytelling.

Our approach is hands-on and personal. We work directly with music supervisors, production companies, and creatives to craft songs that fit the brief, capture emotion, and enhance the story.

Whether it’s a cinematic ballad, a soulful pop song, a dramatic underscore, or a high-energy advertising track, we tailor each piece to your exact needs — emotionally, technically, and musically.
