Mimi McCarley isn’t just a music publisher—she’s a champion for independent music creators and a bridge to real sync opportunities. As the founder of Collab Music Network, she’s built an ecosystem where originality, creative intelligence, and sync licensing success go hand in hand.

Her artist-first approach ensures that every creator in the CMN roster is positioned for real opportunities—not just industry promises.
As a Middle Tennessee State University graduate with a B.S. in Recording Industry Management and over twenty years in the industry, Mimi blends artist, songwriter, and catalog development and management expertise with streamlined systems that remove barriers between indie creators and sync licensing success.

”I love the genius of creativity—the process, the talent, creating success stories. I love introducing and sharing music creators I believe in, delivering well-earned checks, and building the support systems that move careers forward. The challenges aren’t always fun, but I respect them and always find a way to overcome them. This is my calling, to bring value and validation to indie music creators art. What I do is purposeful and valuable, and I’m in this for the long haul.” – Mimi McCarley
