Some placements are about energy.
Others are about heart.

Two of our tracks were recently featured on Dateline NBC (Season 34, Episode 14 – “Bringing Jay Home”). The same cues also aired earlier that day on the TODAY Show, promoting the Dateline episode before its primetime broadcast.

The music:

“Buckle Up Buckle Down”
from Hometown Series: Ensembles & Solos

“Home Sweet Main Street”
from Hometown Series: Ensembles & Solos

Both tracks were intimate acoustic versions — simple, honest, and built for storytelling.

Composed by: Wilson Woodyard
Produced by: Ryan James Edwards
Label: Secret Roots Music House

There’s something incredibly meaningful about hometown-inspired music underscoring a national human-interest story.

We’re thankful for the trust from the NBC teams and proud of the composers who help make these moments possible.

As the night closed on the Olympic Games, the final moments needed a soundtrack worthy of the day’s victories.

During NBC’s Olympics Late Night broadcast of the 2026 Winter Olympics, our track “Super Sonic Adventure” from the album All Gas, No Brakes powered the show’s final segment — a closing recap of the day’s competition across the Games.

Composed by: Cody Troesch & Stephen Troesch
Produced by: Ryan James Edwards
Label: Secret Roots Music House
Provide by: Current Music

It’s always rewarding hearing a cue designed for momentum and movement help send viewers out of the broadcast on a high note.Grateful to the editors and producers who trusted our catalog to help close out the night.

Another unforgettable Olympic moment for our catalog. 🏅❄️

During NBC’s Primetime in Milan broadcast of the 2026 Winter Olympics, our track “Torcia della Vittoria” from the album Italia: Sound & Story underscored the “Today In Italy” segment — a long-form montage recapping the day’s competition across the Games.

Composed by: Wilson Woodyard
Produced by: Ryan James Edwards
Label: Secret Roots Music House
Provided by: Current Music

Seeing a cue written for storytelling carry the emotional arc of an entire Olympic day — from tension to triumph — is exactly the purpose behind this album.

Grateful to the production and editorial teams who trusted our music to help frame the narrative of the Games.

Italia: Sound & Story 🇮🇹

Italy has always carried scale — history, movement, celebration, drama.

Italia: Sound & Story is our multi-genre tribute to that spirit. Created alongside our talented composers located around the globe (Wilson Woodyard, Peter Notermans, Franklin Rice) and produced by Ryan James Edwards at Secret Roots Music House, this collection blends prestige orchestral storytelling, modern momentum, and authentic Italian influences into one cohesive global release.

With Italy stepping into the international spotlight in 2026, this project arrives at a meaningful cultural moment — but its foundation is deeper than any single event. It’s about identity, atmosphere, and narrative range.

Built to travel.
Built for story.
Built for the world stage.

LET’S GOOOOOOOO!!! ⚡️🔥

PLACEMENT ALERT!
Heavy Rock Meets Heavyweight Energy: “Diamondback Bruiser” Lands National Cricket Wireless Spots with WWE Superstar Penta 🔥🎸

Track: “Diamondback Bruiser”
Artist: RYL NTVS
Composers: Cody Michael Troesch (ASCAP), Frederick Stephen Troesch (ASCAP)
Label: Secret Roots Music House
Check it out here: https://www.currentmusic.com/cricket-wireless-commercial-national/

This is a masterclass in high-energy music licensing for commercials, where bold sound, larger-than-life personality, and brand attitude lock together seamlessly.

Why It Worked for Cricket Wireless & WWE’s Penta:
Cricket Wireless isn’t just selling wireless — they’re selling confidence, power, and momentum. Pairing the brand with Penta, a WWE figure synonymous with fearlessness and intensity, required music that could match that persona frame-for-frame.

“Diamondback Bruiser” delivered:
* Immediate impact from the first beat
* Relentless forward motion
* A raw, unfiltered rock attitude
* Authenticity — no stock, no clichés

The result? A national commercial that feels bold, modern, and fearless, powered by music that never lets up.
