1. My direct licensing guidelines 1.1 These are the direct licensing guidelines of Nathan Varga. This document contains information about licensing my sound recordings and music videos. It sets out the procedure to be followed when you are making an enquiry about direct licensing for public performance or transmission. 1.2 An alternative to licensing the sound recording or music video directly from me is to obtain a blanket licence from the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA). If you obtain the PPCA blanket licence then you will not require a licence from me because the blanket licence gives you permission, within the terms of the licence, to play any recording from the PPCA catalogue which covers over 5,000 recording labels including my sound recordings and music videos. Go to ppca.com.au or call PPCA on (02) 8569 1111 to find out more. 2. Types of licences offered for sound recordings and music videos 2.1 I only provide non-exclusive licences. This means I can offer the same licences to other people. For example, if I licence your restaurant to play my sound recordings and/or music videos, I can also licence any other businesses (including other restaurants) that wish to play my sound recordings and/or music videos. 2.2 I offer licences for the following purposes: a) public performance licences for my sound recordings and music videos. You will need a public performance licence if you intend to play the sound recording or music video in public, for example by playing a CD at your business premises; 2.3 These licences are separate from any licence required in respect of the underlying copyright in the music and lyrics on the sound recording or music video. Unless the underlying musical works are no longer protected by copyright, you will also need to obtain permission to use the underlying musical works (including any lyrics). Permission to use musical works can be sought from the Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA) and the Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS). These two organisations operate from the same office and have responsibility for different types of licensing. See apra.com.au or call 1300 852 388. 3. What is the process for direct licensing? 3.1 To enquire about directly licensing any of my sound recordings or music videos, please contact me on 0435 059 321 and/or music@nathanvarga.com 3.2 I require the following information: your business name; your ABN; your contact details; a brief description of your business (eg café, gym, radio station, film festival); an accurate estimation, to the best of your ability and in good faith, of the number of customers per month attending your business (for radio and television stations, we require an estimate of your audience numbers.

"Speak my truth, open up my heart, and do all I do in love". Blue & Green was the beginning of new growth for me. This song is about transformation, and the process we go through, just like a caterpillar turnsinto a butterfly. In March, 2014 I spent one month in Queensland up in the Wongawallen Mountains and I had an idea that took form. I wanted to write a song and play both Guitar and Cajon at the same time. During my time in Queensland I was blessed with an incredible view of the Gold Coast. I remember looking out and seeing the clouds covering majority of the sun. There was a sense of darkness as the light from the sun was just barely shining through. You could see it, but the true radiance was covered by the dark clouds. This reminded me of my situation at that point in time. I wasn't shining yet, and I wasn't performing at my full potential. I remember saying to myself, "If I stay committed, stay true to myself, do what I love and practice daily, exceeding through all hardships; I will one day shine though all the darkness that was holding me back. Simply put. If you don't quit, success is inevitable". I printed of a document with those words that I could look at every morning as I was writing. One morning I was writing while the sun was rising, and in my peripheral vision I noticed a bull ant moving on thIs document I had next to me. I watched this little guy move around on it, and this ant eventually came to a halt. In the next few minutes I couldn’t help but just sit there with a big smile on my face. This ant stopped on a certain word that really made my blood stir. I was filled with excitement. The bull ant stayed there, and for a few minutes lowered its head, bowing down on the magic word. And that word was… 'Success'. It was quite incredible to see that after putting a lot of effort and practicing, making many mistakes while writing this song. It was a sign from the universe telling me to be patient and persist. This transformation was a process of becoming something new. It was a new journey I begun. It took me 33 days to write this song. Each day I put in a little effort which slowly transformed my style. It was unique. I created this song and new way of playing. In those 33 days I became a different person. And I wrote a song that I am truly proud of. The colours that helped me embrace change were... Blue & Green.
