About Me

Mother City…. about us…

Mother City is an independent artist management and music company based in the creative heart of the UK music industry in West London. The company is run by Aaron Moore (ex EMI Records and Ministry of Sound). Our business model to date has largely been built around developing new repertoire which is independently owned for all of our artists, and then licensing that out internationally. Now in its fourth successful year we have five acts that currently we manage and control repertoire for, and in that short space of time we have also worked with an array of artists including Audio Bullys, the early development of Lily Allen, Watershed (South African award winning, platinum selling, rock band) and Joy Zipper (US alternative act), as well as providing consultancy services to several other artists.

Under the Mother City umbrella we have the means to produce music, through an in house studio, and creative leadership is provided by Saul Davies, member of British rock group James. In total, our artists have performed over 200 live shows in 2007, in 25 countries.

We were also successful with synchronisation placements in 2007, with our artists generating 12 sync placements in a variety of film, TV series and TV ad placements, in the US and Europe, including Greys Anatomy, CSI Miami, the latest Chris Rock movie, and Kia Cars.

The acts we currently have under management are…

... The Brand New Heavies, Unkle Bob and Slimmy.

The Brand New Heavies:

Following a reunion with the original and most popular lead singer N’Dea Davenport after a ten year separation, The Heavies released their most successful album for a decade, Get Used To It, in 2006, which has now sold around 120k units (independently) and put the band back on the map, with their centre of gravity now firmly moving to the US.Their demanding touring schedule has included completing 65 shows in the US in last 18 months, and rebuilding their touring base with visits to 20 countries in the last two years including UK, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, Dubai, and Canada. In September 07, they completed 21 dates with Macy Gray in USA/Canada. 2008 will be dominated by further touring and the writing and production of a new album.

This is an act we have developed over the last 2.5 years, We released their debut album Sugar and Spite independently last October, to a chorus of approval from the press- described by The Independent as “Britain’s Next Big Thing”.Since then the band have been aggressively touring, including dates with Travis, The Feeling and a recently completed 40 date UK and Ireland tour with The Proclaimers. The band has a developing US base as a result of 6 US sync placements this year. Click on their picture to go to their myspace.

Slimmy’s unusual blend of electro, pop and rock has been earning him critical acclaim in his native Portugal, where his debut album, Beatsound Loverboy, was recently released by Som Livre, Portugal’s biggest independent record label. The album is already performing well, with a no.1 video which has had over 170,000 plays on youtube, and the lead single ‘Beatsound Loverboy’ being placed into the biggest teen soap opera, with aggressive press coverage selling the story. 'Beatsound Loverboy' is also currently number one on Portuguese Rock Radio (December 2007) and the single is playlisted at MTV. Click on his picture to go his myspace site.
