Meet Joseph Miller of Can You Clear Me Now LLC

Most people think music supervision and licensing is just listening to music all day long. It's not…

It's about understanding how music makes people feel—and then turning that emotional connection into a legally compliant, strategically valuable asset for a brand, agency, filmmaker, or production company.

For more than 15 years, Joseph Miller has helped clients navigate the complex world of music supervision, music clearance, licensing strategy, rights management, and artist negotiations. His work has supported Super Bowl campaigns, Emmy-winning films, global product launches, healthcare advertising, digital campaigns, documentaries, social media activations, and live events.

Joseph's career spans music libraries, television networks, publishing, rights management, and business affairs, giving him a unique understanding of both the creative and legal sides of music. Whether a client is pursuing a chart-topping hit, an emerging independent artist, a custom composition, or a complex sample clearance, his goal remains the same: help clients secure the right music, at the right price, with the right rights.

Today, Joseph leads Can You Clear Me Now with a simple philosophy:

Great music should elevate the story—not create legal headaches.

From initial music strategy and song selection through final negotiations and contract execution, Joseph and his team help clients move quickly, make informed decisions, and avoid costly mistakes. The company has negotiated more than $5 million in music licensing fees, supported over 150 projects and campaigns, and earned recognition from industry organizations including the Guild of Music Supervisors and the 4As Expert Network.

When he's not helping clients clear music, Joseph can usually be found playing guitar, sailing on the waters of eastern Long Island, or debating whether The Godfather or Goodfellas is the better film for the hundredth time.

What We Believe

Music is one of the most powerful storytelling tools available.

The right song can transform a campaign, film, or brand experience.

Transparency matters more than surprises.

Relationships and reputation matter in music licensing.

Fast approvals should never come at the expense of accuracy.

Every project deserves a solution that balances creativity, budget, and business objectives.

Whether you're licensing a famous song for a national campaign, clearing music for a documentary, building a long-term music strategy, or simply trying to understand your options, we're here to help.
