There’s no ‘I’ in team. There’s no ‘I’ in band, either.

The success of artists is something that we have unhealthy fascination in. We read, we study, we work, we drive and we execute. All in the name of success. Success with integrity. 

We realised a long time ago that we knew many artists, bands and songwriters who weren’t where they could be. The talent didn’t match the status. We observed many artists, bands and songwriters who definitely weren’t where they should be. The status didn’t match the talent. 

What we did discover though, was that those who’d succeeded in some way weren’t on their own. They weren’t writing songs alone, publishing themselves, recording themselves and distributing themselves. They weren’t just hoping that one day, somewhere the elusive record deal would appear, via a Youtube video they’d created. (Granted, this has happened a couple of times!) 

They had a team. They had musicians, a producer, web guy, tea and coffee intern, PR and even a sound engineer. They had people to inspire, encourage, challenge and cheer them on. Even the worst X-Factor entrants have parents or relatives backstage, cheering them on. 

“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” - Henry Ford

Our artist’s teams include managers, lawyers, publishing companies, creative directors, session musicians, clothing & art direction, creative production (studio production, video, web, digital marketing, app development) distributors. 

Who’s in your team?

“It’s all about the music.” - Troy Carter

If you’re an independent musician, it’s likely you read a whole lot of online blogs and DIY music websites. The landscape can get pretty blurry if you’re self releasing, promoting, recording and touring. It can feel intense, and at times, overwhelming. One thing remains important though; in all of the mayhem, don’t forget that it’s all about the music. 

“It’s all about the music. Everything else revolves around the music. Everything comes from the music. The technology doesn’t matter if the records aren’t good.” - Troy Carter, Business Manager, Lady Gaga
