Talk:Bryce Goggin

Silent Partner and other major contributions
So Bryce Goggin has made many important contributions to public domain music. The description of the Silent Partner YouTube Topic includes the following points: The topic and corresponding channel suffer from the same obscurity in branding that many similar contributions have, with many knowing the songs but not knowing the artist. The channel has only nearly 18,000 subscribers with about 3,700,000 views, compared to a single video in the [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ6Mcwttt7sTy1PDcDw9SodGrD6127kCh channel's Sound Familiar? playlist], which has about 29,000,000 views and contains a Silent Partner song. This obviously does not begin to even scratch the surface of the widespread usage of these public works, which is why it is disappointing to me that Silent Partner does not have its own dedicated page, nor does it have a reference in this article, nor does the disambiguation page for "Silent Partner" contain an entry.
 * In 2013, YouTube reached out to producer Bryce Goggin, asking if he was interested in creating music for their new Audio Library which aimed to give billions of video creators access to free, safe to use music.
 * His answer was simple - "Yes".
 * Goggin, who's worked with the likes of Phish, Sean Lennon, Space Hog, and Pavement, recruited a close circle of session musicians to help take on the mighty endeavor.
 * The team worked out of his studio in Brooklyn NY, creating a diverse collection of over 1k songs that would go on to be used in hundreds of millions of videos.

Another missing entry is an entry for Phoenix SC (the youtuber), who despite using Sad Past in a huge chunk of videos for the outro and properly attributing the song, only managed to boost the song to about 49,000 views despite having about 2,000,000 subscribers alone. A simple Google search shows the YouTuber's various socials as being all of the first few results. A Bing search will show much of the same, although also showing the Wikipedia article on the United States soccer club. As the YouTuber has an active channel, it only makes sense to have a Wikipedia article on the channel as well with a disambiguation page. In addition, one of the only two links in the Wikipedia article is what looks like an essentially empty website and the other leads to a 404 page.

This is my first time contributing at all so I defer judgement to other contributors. Thank you for reading. JadeLynnMasker (talk) 14:24, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
