The Music Hub is an independent music company, founded by manager Maarten Gish and producer, songwriter and artist Rowan Smeets.
We started by developing artists, writing and producing songs and releasing records. From there The Music Hub grew into a company that works in management, publishing, distribution and pitching.
We work with artists, writers and producers on their music and their careers, and bring their songs to labels, publishers, managers and artists around the world.
Until the new site is live, email is the quickest way to reach us. Writers and producers are welcome to send us their music there too.
We help artists, songwriters and producers build a long-term career: creative development, repertoire, positioning, releases, partnerships and business strategy.
Management is where The Music Hub began, and we bring that same hands-on approach to everything else we do.
We represent songs and catalogues and handle rights, registrations, splits and royalty administration.
Because we are often involved while songs are being written, we also look further ahead: where a song can be placed, how a catalogue can grow and how to protect its value over time.
We release music through our own labels and partner labels, with distribution through established partners. We help artists and labels with release planning, metadata, catalogue management and royalty reporting.
That gives artists and labels one point of contact from the finished master to the release.
We connect songs, toplines, songwriters and producers with the right artists, managers, labels and publishers.
We follow what artists and their teams are looking for and which projects are coming up. We pitch existing songs and toplines, answer briefs with the right repertoire, and set up co-writes, writing sessions and camps.
Our own pitching software helps us keep track of repertoire, contacts, pitches and follow-up across many markets. The pitching itself stays personal: we know who we send music to, and why.
Good music starts with the people who make it. We stay close to them, and we know the business around their music.
We build careers, catalogues and working relationships that last.
A song can start in a writing session and end up with an artist, a label, a publisher or in a sync. Because we work in management, publishing, distribution and pitching, we keep track of the music, the rights and the people involved, and we see opportunities earlier.
As an independent company we work directly with artists and partners, backed by our own tools, our knowledge of rights and an international network.
Independent by choice, and connected to the wider industry.
Sometimes a song reaches a big audience. Sometimes it finds exactly the right artist, or becomes part of a moment that means a lot to someone.
Both are the reason we do this work.
Independent at heart. Global in reach.
