M3 Music Group was founded in 1979 as Lowa Level Entertainment, a record promotion and production company for music labels. After spinning vinyl stateside and across the Atlantic, the company settled in Maryland with a goal to turn the Mid-Atlantic region into a major marketing music arena such as those existing in areas like New York, California, and Atlanta, GA.Lowa Level Entertainment conducted promotions for major record labels like Sony Music Group, Universal Music, and WEA. Simultaneously, it recorded demos to market to these labels. Later, it moved on to build its own studio to develop, market and distribute its own artists.A search for talent lead to the New Mexico pop punk group Left Unsaid being signed as Lowa Level Entertainment’s first managed and executively produced artists. Left Unsaid’s first independent album "I Forgot" was released under Lowa Level Entertainment’s label DK Records. Later, the company negotiated a deal for Left Unsaid with the independent Pennsylvania label BIE Records, which released and nationally distributed the group’s second album "3 Degrees Lost".Lowa Level Entertainment later signed two more artists to album and management deals: Washington, DC rap artist Porche 9-11 and Maryland songstress Lea Adams. Both artists’ CDs were released under the DK Records label. Porche 9-11’s "My Life…This Me" was a personal hip hop tribute, and Adams’ "Introducing…Lea Adams" spoke of love, life, and relationships.Eventually, these artists and Lowa Level Entertainment parted ways, and, in a move aimed at repositioning its operations, the company changed its name to M3 Music Group. The transition included upgrading its studio from an 8-track analog to a 24-track digital studio. During this progression, M3 Music Group continued to seek out new talent and develop old ties. J. D’Wayne, a prolific songwriter and R&B singer has been with M3 Music Group prior to its transition, and is now working on a 4-song EP "So Real" in lieu of a full-length CD. Rapper DUI has signed with M3 Music Group and is currently promoting his 4-song EP "Listen Without Prejudice", which was released in February 2007. He will follow it with his full-length release "A Season In Hell" in fall 2007.
