BRM ASIA PACIFIC - ONLINE SUBMISSIONS
WHAT DOES OIKOS ACCEPT SUBMISSIONS FOR?
MUSIC & MEDIA PUBLISHING
OIKOS MUSIC has signed a very long term contract as the exclusive "agent" for BRM Music www.brmmusic.com for the territory of the ASIA PACIFIC. OIKOS MUSIC therefore acts as a music publisher which contracts BRM Music as worldwide sub publisher and administrator.
What this means to artists in the Asia Pacific, is that they can sign to OIKOS MUSIC in New Zealand and be confident that one of the worlds most active and competent music publishers will represent their content through the best promotional and distribution networks and channels worldwide. You'll find that we have powerful networks and relationships.
However, we're very selective about working with people and teams whose creative purposes and ambitions match our core values. You can explore these at www.oikos.co.nz
We are proud to operate very differently from typical industry organisations and one of our first points of difference is that we promote artist ownership of copyright. We are also very flexible and can offer deals that suit the artist, record labels or even other publishers aspirations. /p?
Below are some kinds of deals that might be available from ASIA PACIFIC countries:
- IMPREST deals for record labels and producers (we're very keen to hear from producers / engineers who represent artists)
- A WORLD WIDE MUSIC PUBLISHING CHANNEL for a regional record label/p
- SUB PUBLISHER for self published artists or regional publishers seeking worldwide
- PUBLISHER to anyone wanting to publish media content, we specialise in music but can also give credible support with DVD, AV, Books etc
We're not going to "spill the beans" as it were here on MYSPACE on specifically how we operate and therefore educate our competition. So if you want to know more, then by all means pay the submission fee and lets talk. You can be assured we're incredibly competent and very serious, the real point is "are you?"
ARTIST MANAGEMENT
When it comes to artist management we want less artists of a higher calibre. In translation we're not just looking for the typical skills required to make it in music, we're also looking for emotional intelligence and to work with artists that have strong core values. If art reflects life, then we want artists that are full of life and who're good to work with.
If you pay the submission fee then we engage in a reasonably lengthy two way due diligence process in which we explore the potential to work together. No contracts are ever signed under duress or pressure and we assertively promote adequate artist representation. This is particularly of benefit to helping young players avoid the traps and snares of industry.
Our preference is to work with artists who've demonstrated some achievement and committment and success in their career as this gives us the important artist skill base to put the artist into our channels for international success. However, if we find "lightning in the bottle" then we will go out of our way to back that talent.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MY SUBMISSION?
You only pay your submission to OIKOS MUSIC GROUP once.
We then consider your music for commercial potential across the group. (You can pay online through links either through INVINCIBLE RECORDS or through BRM-OIKOS. ) OIKOS MUSIC GROUP includes STARLIGHT MUSIC (booking agency and touring), BRM-OIKOS (Music Publishing), OIKOS (artist management), INVINCIBLE RECORDS (NZ), INVINCIBLE RECORDS (UK), TUTU AUDIO (re mixes etc).
We evaluate where you and your music "fits" in terms of the opportunities that we could develop for you. If there is a way we can make you money, then we'll want to do business with you and share the benefits. If not, then we will give you valuable feedback that could help you "fine tune" yourself and your product so that you can move forward. We think this is very valuable as there is a huge throng of artists who so close to making it and then give up because they never get the feedback about the fine tuning that was needed.

THE MEANING OF OIKOS
"Oikos" is a Greek word which means "house" or "a dwelling place" and generally is used in the context of "harmony, or a harmonious and economical method with a focus on relationships" . The use is often found linked to the word "economous" or economy. Oikos Music is all about relationships and working in a "harmonious" way with stakeholders for an enjoyable and mutually profitable experience. The name is linked to the way Glyn elects to do business. Good relationships with stakeholders is at least as important as profits and is a primary focus. However, the meaning also implies a stronger focus and prioritisation on a core few as opposed to a broad "everybody". In the way a father would care for the household so would Oikos Music Ltd care for business partners and artists on the roster.
