Naz Music is a BC-based Production Music Library specializing in: Vintage Jazz & Big Bands, New Age Lounge, Gypsy, Exotica, Surf, Spy, Spaghetti Westerns, traditional & modern Classical, Ultra Lounge, Rock Operas, Contemporary, Blues & other outer worldly genres.

Additionally, we are a Content Production Studio. We specialize in producing & licensing top-shelf guitar solos & duos recorded in HiDef using analog tube-driven equipment, emulating nostalgic soundscapes.

We also remaster Vintage Master Recording Reels for entry into Digital Music Markets. Our goal is to refine our Digital Marketing practice to more closely reflect the recent changes in the Music Industry, as well as redefine our target market to more closely suit Brand realignment targets and our Sync Licensing practice.

Naz Music has been working closely with an application developer who has created innovative publisher tools for independent publishers so they can compete with large-scale major publishers (like BMG, or, Sony, or, Universal Music). It levels the playing field by granting access to a high-quality toolset, without the $20K software acquisition price.
