The addition of BXP into the 5 Alarm family allows us to stay at the forefront of the current music scene and continue to be the most valuable resource our clients rely on for superior music in their productions.] – Cassie Lord, President, 5 Alarm Music.

5 Alarm Music has established itself as much more than a repository of popular and classical music; the company's goal is to be a one-stop "music concierge" service for projects large and small, offering unmatched knowledge and expertise on every aspect of music production and licensing. To that end, 5 Alarm Music gives media producers several options for creating the perfect soundtrack. A fast, intuitive search engine allows users to quickly find tracks from any genre. Alternatively, clients can describe what they need and 5 Alarm Music will curate a list of candidate tracks. Lastly, the company can even produce original, custom music to match a client's specifications.

Whereas competitor licensing companies typically offer only static libraries, 5 Alarm Music boasts a continual flow of new releases. In addition to music licensing, 5 Alarm Music also provides music replacement services for films and TV shows whose budgets don't allow for long-term rights to particular songs.

5 Alarm Music is a division of Imagem Music, the largest music publisher in the world. The company began with a single library and has steadily grown into the most comprehensive independent collection of music in North America. At last count, the total collection numbered more than 230,000 tracks.

The mission of 5 Alarm Music is to continue setting the highest standards in music composition, while expertly selecting and licensing music for many of the world's most recognized films, TV shows and brands. Clients of 5 Alarm Music include leading multinational corporations, production houses and studios.
