I started Q Stone Management / Records at the start of this year out of sheer frustration. Basically, I have a fundamental problem with the length of time that it takes, to get a band signed to a major record label, or even get them under their noses.
I decided that my impatience would be a driving force in getting the company up and running and allow myself, and the acts that Ive signed, an outlet into the musical, retail market place.
We have a sales and distribution deal, with a company that have been in the business for over twenty years. This gives us direct access to all of the major players in the world of retail, including HMV, Virgin, Woolworths, Tesco, Asda & the hundreds of independent stores around the country.
My background & experience come from working for the biggest record company in the UK, for the past ten years. The list of artist projects that I have worked on, are second-to-none & cross every musical genre. Artists such as, Sting, U2, All Saints, Nickelback, Ian Brown, The Charlatans, Todd Terry, D12, Dr Dre, Elton John, Shania Twain, Fear Factory, Cradle Of Filth & Slipknot.
Not only have I worked alongside some of the finest product managers, pluggers, sales people and A&R men in the business, but I have also gained a fantastic group of friends and an extremely useful contact list, along the way!
The whole ethos of Q Stone Management / Records is to allow extremely talented musicians, an outlet for their creative works.
We help with the strategy, formatting, production and release dates. Just as importantly, we are here with years of experience and advice, that can help save you a small fortune, in an area that can make or break you if you get it wrong.
