About us
The creators.
The Composer Guide was started by Ruben Camacho, a composer from Costa Rica who now moves between Europe and Central America. He created it to solve a real problem—too many young composers spend hours digging through scattered resources, lost in a world that often feels gatekept and overwhelming.The Composer Guide changes that. It’s here to make things easier, clearer, and more accessible—so you can focus on making music, not endlessly searching for where to begin.In 2025, Carson Zuck joined the team to help grow the vision and take the project to the next level. Exciting things are on the way.
Support us.
Currently, The Composer Guide is run by just two team members—Ruben and Carson. As you can imagine, maintaining a platform like this comes with significant costs. While we're passionate about what we do and are committed to keeping it going, any support along the way is deeply appreciated.As a token of our gratitude, all supporters will soon be featured on our upcoming Supporters Wall!And to say thank you in style, every supporter will receive a high-quality heavyweight tee—so you can rep the TCG team with pride!

Leading the shift in content creation.
Big creators. Big budgets. Small returns. We do it differently, pairing brands with incredible, undiscovered creators who deliver standout content for way less.
After five years in content, one thing is clear: stories outperform ads.Big creators have become expensive and stretched thin, while smaller creators stay focused, motivated, and craft content that actually performs, at a fraction of the price.That insight became this agency: dependable, high-quality content delivered every month by creators who truly care. Curious how it works? Keep reading.
Our workspace, your peace.
Our project exists because of transparency. In our dedicated workspace, you can see exactly which creators we recommend, approve or pass on them, and track where each one is in the content process, start to finish.Need creators to follow specific guidelines? Want full visibility on how NFRs are shared? It’s all built in. We handle the structure and oversight, so you stay in control and can focus on the creative, knowing every piece of content aligns with your brand.
Creators. Listen up.
This is your chance to start collaborating with major brands. And no, there are no hidden fees. Our mission is to support the next generation of creators, and our success comes from helping you get real opportunities.
Here's how it works
1
You sign up through our form and get added to our database. From there, we identify your musical style and any other details that help us match you with the right brands.
2
Once you’re in our database, we work on connecting you with the right brand. This can take anywhere from a day to a few weeks, depending on which brands we’re actively partnering with at the time.
3
When we secure a collaboration, we’ll contact you on Instagram to go over the brief, the license you’ll receive, and the deadline. Before you post, just invite the brand as a co-author.
Dive into the music industry
This project isn’t just a way to access free professional libraries, it’s an opportunity for brands to discover your content, for you to build a strong portfolio piece by piece, and soon, to start receiving paid collaborations.The sample-music industry has been dominated by big creators for too long. We’re pulling that door open, and we hope you’ll get in with us!
