Golden Era Sounds is a vintage music company and sync licensing label dedicated to preserving and reimagining timeless recordings from the past. We specialize in curating authentic, soulful sounds from family archives and golden era artists, bringing their legacy to life through placements in film, television, and advertising.

A lot of families have incredible recordings made by their parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents — music that carries history, soul, and legacy. But most folks have no idea what to do with these treasured family recordings.
