Leland Bond Music Inc.

What Leland Bond Music Inc. does

Leland Bond Music Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned production music company founded in 1990 and operating from Beverly Hills, California. The business is built around a single composer, Leland Bond, who has 30+ years of experience producing music for film, television, advertising, and interactive media. The company controls a catalog of 2,000+ fully owned production music tracks, organized by 45 emotion/mood categories spanning five macro groups (including Triumph-Happy, Dark-Emotional, Mystery-Fantasy, and Tension-Fear), which music supervisors and content creators can search as an alternative to genre-based browsing. All tracks are pre-cleared for sync and master rights with global distribution, removing the legal friction that historically complicates production music licensing.

The company monetizes through multiple streams: per-track and project-based licensing sold via the SourceAudio self-serve platform for immediate purchases; blanket licensing for frequent creators and media libraries negotiated on annual or multi-year terms; custom composition and orchestration services for feature films, branded campaigns, and interactive media; and publishing royalties collected through the affiliated BMI publisher Bond Avenue Music. Exclusive licensing is also available for specific tracks. The catalog is searchable and licensable at music.lelandbondmusic.com, while custom scoring and blanket inquiries are handled through direct contact. Distribution is mediated by SourceAudio for self-serve buyers and by direct sales engagement for enterprise clients.

The business is a solo operator with 1-10 employees (effectively the founder plus limited contractors), with no institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no public revenue metrics. The address is a mail/contact address (312 S. Beverly Dr, Unit 7610) rather than a recording facility. The customer base spans film & TV productions, digital content creators (YouTube, TikTok, podcasters), advertising and marketing agencies, corporate media producers, video game and interactive media developers, and music supervisors/libraries — a horizontal segmentation with no disclosed customer logos or case studies. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, ranging from per-track unit pricing to multi-year contract structures for exclusive and custom arrangements.
