Featured Tracks Land in the Film “Unfaithful” on Tubi, Amazon Prime, and Plex
In an era where streaming has redefined how we consume both music and film, one artist is blending the two worlds seamlessly. Grammy-nominated songwriter and recording artist Pocahontas Music has once again proven that her talent isn’t just meant for the stage or the charts—it belongs on screen. Several of her original songs are now featured in the emotionally charged drama Unfaithful, available on Tubi, Amazon Prime, and Plex—a major win for the artist and a textbook case of how independent musicians can thrive through sync licensing.
The Art (and Business) of Sync Licensing
While many may know Pocahontas Music for her songwriting credits with pop royalty like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé, her behind-the-scenes strategy is what sets her apart. She has mastered the complex but rewarding world of sync licensing—the legal process of pairing music with visual media.
“Sync is where the soul of your song meets the story of a film,” Pocahontas explains. “It’s not just about music placement—it’s about emotional placement.”
In short, sync licensing allows filmmakers to pay artists for the right to use their music in movies, television shows, commercials, or games. For an artist like Pocahontas, who owns or co-owns both the master and publishing rights to many of her songs, this means both creative control and financial leverage.
Unfaithful’: A Cinematic Turning Point
The recent feature film Unfaithful, which has been quietly building a cult following on streaming platforms, showcases a new chapter for Pocahontas Music’s catalog. With multiple tracks strategically placed throughout the film—from emotionally vulnerable ballads to moody R&B-infused scenes—her music breathes life into the film’s most pivotal moments.
“The director told me my voice felt like a character in the movie,” she shares. “That’s the highest compliment an artist can get.”
These aren’t background tracks—they’re sonic storylines. In one scene, a slow-burning track underscores a betrayal unfolding in real time, mirroring the tension between characters. In another, her vocals swell during a moment of raw heartbreak, amplifying the audience’s emotional experience. It’s proof that Pocahontas Music doesn’t just write hits—she writes cinematic atmosphere.
Strategy Over Serendipity
Many indie artists wait for a “big break” in sync, but Pocahontas didn’t leave it to chance. She approached this like a business executive and a creative visionary all in one.
She began by registering her music with major performance rights organizations (PROs) and building relationships with sync agents, music supervisors, and independent filmmakers. Her tracks were meticulously tagged, categorized, and made easily licensable through platforms that cater to film scorers and television producers.
“The industry used to be gatekept,” she says, “but now, if your music fits and you’re professional, you can break through.”
And break through she did. Unfaithful was just the beginning.
The Ripple Effect: Revenue, Recognition, and Reach
While Spotify streams may measure popularity, sync licensing measures impact. Every time Unfaithful is streamed, aired, or distributed, Pocahontas earns both royalties and visibility—on platforms that reach millions. This not only diversifies her income, it elevates her brand as a serious force in music–for–picture.
In fact, since the film’s debut, she’s already seen a spike in Shazam searches, music sales, and new international fans asking where they can hear more of her cinematic catalog.
What’s Next for Pocahontas Music
More sync deals are reportedly in the pipeline. With projects ranging from indie horror films to Netflix-bound series, Pocahontas Music is building what she calls a “sonic portfolio” for visual storytellers.
“I want my music to be the heartbeat of stories,” she says. “When people feel something but don’t know why—I want that to be me in the background.”
She’s also launching workshops to help other indie artists navigate the sync world—from split sheets to metadata, licensing contracts to pitch strategies. True to her nature, Pocahontas Music is not just breaking in—she’s holding the door open for others.
Final Word
In a media-saturated landscape, authenticity cuts through. Pocahontas Music’s ascent in sync licensing is more than an artistic victory—it’s a blueprint for musicians looking to amplify their voices beyond playlists and radio.
With Unfaithful, she didn’t just place songs—she placed pieces of her soul in a film that’s now streaming worldwide. And for viewers everywhere, her music lingers long after the credits roll.
