There’s a huge market out there for fresh, never-before-heard audio, and we are working in a highly collaborative manner with remarkably gifted musicians and composers from every corner of the globe. We think that having fresh new tracks that have never seen the marketplace previously will bring a creative infusion into the media world. We invite potential new clients to check out our offerings – we’re confident they’ll hear exciting new material they’ve never experienced before.”

About The Founders
David Katzoff A native of Orlando, Florida, David Katzoff launched a very successful IT product/services company deeply involved within the Life Sciences space in 2003. Twenty-years of diligence and brand-building later, that company was acquired – presenting Katzoff with the opportunity in 2022 to launch SyncWeasel, an important new production music library company which endeavors to meld his technology, business, and musical strengths.
Earlier in his career, Katzoff performed as a keyboard player with many high-profile musical outfits in the 1990s. As the keyboardist in a New York City-based band called Strangers On A Train, Katzoff and his band mates enjoyed many successful gigs such as Fleet Weeks, where the group shared the bill with Joan Jett and Marcy Brothers. Strangers On A Train also performed in other well-known Manhattan-area venues, such as My Father’s Place, The Bitter End, Kenny's Castaways, the China Club, and Maxwells.
Jay Stollman A multi-faceted instrumentalist, composer, vocalist, and music industry professional for 50 years, Jay Stollman comes to SyncWeasel with an extensive background in the composition, production and placement of music for TV, Film, Advertising and Interactive Media.
