We build the business behind the music.
Talent is the product. We develop it, manage it and grow it — then set up the business and connect the funding, so you never depend on a label to own you.
We don't sign artists. We build careers.
Too many emerging artists get one of two deals: a manager who books a few shows, or a label that pays for the record and owns it forever. SMG is the third way.
We manage and develop the career — and we build the business underneath it: the company, the credit foundation, and the funding connections that let you pay for your own records, videos and rollout. Results vary; funding is facilitated, never guaranteed.
You keep your masters, your leverage, and your independence. The career is yours.
Led by Naomi. Built in Columbus.
SMG is led by Naomi — a Columbus entrepreneur who builds and runs real businesses. The same person managing your career is the one who can build the company and connect the funding behind it. Not a name on a flyer: an operator.
One network. Every stage.
