We exist because there’s not enough integrity in this industry when it comes to emerging artists

The whole point of Full Court Press is to be honest and transparent with artists, while also giving them the resources to make better music.

You’ll never hear us say “we can blow anyone up with $5000 in 6 months” because that’s bullshit. You’ll never hear us prioritize streaming over everything else because that’s bullshit.

You will hear us talk about making the most commercially viable music possible and how what we do can only lead to success if the artist is dedicated enough to follow through.

Success looks different for everyone in this industry. We’re here to help make you successful, however that looks to you.
