Sync, library, and commissioned work

Made-to-order music around FEiN and Tiny Giant Recording: songs, cues, catalog pieces, and placement-oriented work for screen, brands, libraries, publishers, or client-side music catalogs. Public entries link to release or placement metadata. Invoice-only entries are labeled private archive and are not public credits unless separately confirmed.

TV & brand placements

Third-party public placement metadata. Not every Walton sync — FEiN recordings only.

Sync, library & commissioned work

  • Doin' It Right — 2017 · FEiN · Persimmon Grove Music / Freeform sync-catalog lane · commissioned original song work · Evidence: invoice/private archive · public record — Invoice records show Tiny Giant Recording was commissioned through International Family Entertainment (Disney corporate-adjacent, based on subsidiary records) for original FEiN song work connected to Persimmon Grove Music — Freeform's sub-publishing / sync-catalog lane, not a public screen title called Persimmon Grove. Public release metadata: Nov 3, 2017 single, ℗ 2017 Freeform. Song page: /songs/doin-it-right/.
  • GrooveWorx — sync/library lane · Evidence: invoice/private archive — Invoice records point to made-to-order sync/library work connected to GrooveWorx. Public records establish GrooveWorx as a custom music / production music company; public Luke/FEiN credit verification remains incomplete.
  • BLKMT / Vice News underscore — sync/library lane · Evidence: invoice/private archive — Private invoice and project records indicate FEiN/Tiny Giant-related sync-library work associated with BLKMT and Vice News underscore. Public verification incomplete.

Research queue

Not public credits. No /with/ hubs until Luke Walton's role is documented by a public source or citable private archive record.

  • Fabriq — Tiny Giant / FEiN extended research queue · Evidence: research node — Luke Walton remembers recording engineer + producer work for Fabriq; stable public credit page not yet recovered. Public metadata for Fabriq's "Double Tap" lists Brandon Woodward as producer only — keep queued until invoice, session, or release credit confirms Luke's role.
  • Paulina Wroblewska — USC / Tiny Giant-era research queue · Evidence: research node — Luke Walton remembers recording-engineer work; USC Thornton node in public records. No stable released-track or credit-pane receipt yet — verify before publishing as public credit.
  • Graham "Cruiser" Marsh — research queue · Evidence: research node — Luke Walton remembers recording-engineer work; no stable public credit page recovered yet.
  • Julia McLane — research queue · Evidence: research node — Luke Walton remembers recording-engineer work; no stable public credit page recovered yet.

First-person archive

FEiN, the Los Angeles indie duo of Luke Walton and Brandon Woodward. Mostly premieres and quote-bearing features — not a deep full-Q&A archive like Scoobert. Short stylized names collide with tax FEIN, Sinn Féin, Travis Scott FE!N, and basketball Luke Walton unless you anchor the music entity.
