TMG Artists Receiving National TV Exposure
Viral videos in themselves can be used in a number of ways to promote an artists music, from being uploaded to their MySpace page, to being played before a performance, and even going straight to YouTube and other video sites. Tate Music Groups team of Multimedia Producers will build the Viral Commercial around the artist’s music, using their photos and album artwork to capture potential consumers and build excitement and visibility for the music.
Not only do we hand over the video to our artist in order for them to use as they see fit but Tate Music Group also guarantees National and Regional TV exposure on major music TV networks (MTV, MTV2, VH1, CMT, BET, FUSE...). TMG is running national and regional commercial spots based around album release dates, events or for a blanket periods of time.
Just another reason Tate Music Group is poised to take over the music industry!

Times A Wastin
So you want to be signed to a record label? Join the ever increasing club! But what are you looking for in that label? Are you looking for the best chance for bookings, promotions, marketing, national distribution, and personal support without going bankrupt? Or are you willing to sign with a label with a big name just for bragging rights regardless of how much money and rights you’re likely to lose?
Before you start shopping for a label you need to do your homework. I won’t go into a huge lesson here, there are plenty of books written on the subject already. But if you would like to take a huge gamble and shop your music to the big names who are NOT going to book shows for you at no cost, who are NOT going to promote and market you at no cost, who are going to make you buy your own CDs at ridiculously high costs, who MIGHT give you a big advance only to make you pay every penny back from sales even if that means you never see an ounce of profit from the project you just poured your heart and soul into, who WILL take the rights to your music for a long, long, long time….if this all sound fantastic to you…well, let’s just say it speaks volumes.
Tate Music Group is about you as the artist, helping you achieve the goals and dreams you have. Do we see money out of the deal? Of course. We’re a business, just like you. But we reduce your risk and give you the greatest opportunity for success and profits in industry, period!
Who else agrees with us? Try Jim Halsey, (manager of greats like Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Clint Black, and even Kid Rock), Jim Mazza (President/Founder of Capitol Records and EMI), Chuck Tilley (Founder of Atlanta Fest and President of Tilley and Associates), Regie Hamm (TMG artist and Platinum songwriter for David Cook, 2008 American Idol winner and other greats like Clay Crosse, Mercy Me, Point of Grace, etc.), Jeff Chandler (TMG artist and platinum songwriter for Casting Crowns) and the list is growing and growing. Even some legends in the industry, Kenny Rogers and Neal McCoy, are looking to come on board with Tate!
So what do you, as an aspiring artist do now? First, you better have the goods! We receive hundreds of submission every week and simply can’t offer every artist our contract. We have to be very selective with who we are willing to promote and invest into. But if you believe you have the goods, then send us your demo and let us check it out.
This industry is crowded and moving fast. It’s all about timing and momentum so if you’re ready to get serious about your music career then get moving…times-a-wastin’!
