“Don't believe it all”

Georgia E.
1/27/17

Make-up artist here, and present in many of BMU photoshoots ( you can see the photos in all BMU bands pages, my name in the credits). They did good work, there was always someone of them there, and the work got done just fine. It's been three years that BMU provides me regular work, and yes, I got paid every time. But yes, sometimes it came late, but came nonetheless. Ps: The bands are good as well! G

“If you are a musician and have been asked to "audition"”

Laura J.
2/16/15

If you are a musician and have been asked to "audition"- Don't waste your time! The will have you travelling from all ends of the country with no travel expenses, provide no scores, chord sheets or idea of what they actually want you to do. It seems they set up a kind of audition for the poor "artist" they have signed. Terrible quality singers, I feel this may be a total scam to get money out of people.

It has been a huge learning step both for me and the band ever since being on BMU's roster. For hard-working artists, BMU's investment pays off.

Having joined BMU in September 2015, they have helped me to identify the market I need to be pushing for with my music. They've hooked me up with lots of talented producers and musicians who I'm currently working with to release my second EP.

They are not a joke. Of course when starting any new business relationship, there are concerns and anxieties but I believe if you want success you need to take risks, and I think this is one risk that will definitely benefit me and my music career.

Throughout 2014 we sent nearly a hundred press kits and although we had some great responses the offer we really needed came from Band Management Universal. They signed us to a five-year contract, built a team around the band and brought us household-name sponsorship. BMU have moved everything up several gears and IIIR is building relationships with the company's business team and producers, gaining support and connections with sponsors. We've been recording in the studio and feel certain we can move confidently into 2015 with this support and a schedule of more recording sessions, filming, gigs and festivals. We're looking forward to playing on tour all over Britain, Europe and many other parts of the world. Being part of BMU's roster has given us the opportunity to succeed.

We are passionate supporters of live music, as well as talent-spotting and helping artists and venues to develop and grow. We've been working with BMU since they signed our managed band and they're in constant contact keeping us up to date on what they're doing for the band. And not just us, the company works hard at giving all their artists guidance and the vital tools they need to develop themselves. BMU is very transparent too, which means we know that we're all part of the same team.

I am Geo Gabriel, I'm a singer/ songwriter/ producer who has worked with top international artists such as Lionel Ritchie, Madonna, Craig David, Susan Boyle, The Game, Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz), Leona Lewis, Brian Eno etc. I signed up to B. M. U. Recently, they have worked non-stop and continue to work tirelessly to advance my career as an artist. The managers are great, team members are very friendly and of good spirit, whenever they are given a task they do deliver. I'm glad I'm managed by this team, most definitely a cut above the rest!

The Horse Heads have received a lot of help from BMU during our contract including studio time, music video recordings, photography session and gigs! They've even bought us a multi-gym and they are even kind enough to pay for my phone bill every month! They are literally like family to us and have stuck with us from the start! Even a situation that included the departure of our bass guitarist, they sorted it out by giving us a session bassist and they are paying for more photography sessions!

BMU are family to us so please ignore the haters.

We've come an unbelievably long way from a place which is far beyond anything you might hear on the news or any place you may ever be able to travel to!
Having contacted 133 different management companies and agents, we signed to BMU, and they're doing what they said they will, and even more than that!
For guys like us who weren't even allowed to play our music back there, it's not just a management contract, it means a lot more!

Although we only signed with BMU this week we have been in contact with them consistently for a few months now. In that time they have answered any questions we have had with honesty and swiftness and have spoken to us as people and artists as opposed to just a business investment. I have every faith that they will keep being an absolute pleasure to work with and am excited about the future with them.

Please check out the link above, my previous review and that of Roman Black- Briar, Radski, Josh Jones to name a few. As soon as anything truthful and negative is posted this company thing the way to deal with it is to send threats. Matthias Gairy has invented a new name Mike Mitchel. As a result of myself and others warning people on Various social media platforms/ review sites not to get involved with BMU at the risk of falling into the same trap we did. We are now falling victim to slanderous accusations and attempts to discredit us. I just want to show people the poison this company likes to spread, it has no limits as to how far they will go, even accusing the late wife of an artist of being a prostitute, complete fiction that they clearly have the time on their hands to create. As for my bassist, didn't want to sign with BMU because she was worried they were dodgy- which they have now proved beyond belief they are. On request I can back up each and every point I have made with evidence, but unfortunately for them they can't prove lies to be true. I do not suffer from bipolar (FYI, manic depression is no longer an acceptable term) I also do not suffer from epilepsy. As for the cocaine allegations I'm more than happy to provide a blood sample - plain ridiculous, and I've not had a gig for over 2 years due to finishing my BA Hons degree, which was a rather long time before I had the misfortune of getting involved with this poor excuse for a business.

I will say this:
I tried so long on my own with my band and no good. I am finally getting good service from a management company. Recordings, photos and video coming up in DEC!

Hurray!

What I’ve seen now for a year in Band Management Universal that amazed me is that they just don’t go through motions, they care about communication and the opinions of parties involve in their business. They are also sufficiently self-aware to know their communication is received by stakeholders.

Amazing artists can be found in this company. As my personal experience from having a conversation with them I could say that band management universal is a versatile company catering the need of every talented and hardworking artists to the global scene giving them a place where they can show off the best in them. So to all the fresh talents out there with big dreams this could be your chance to be noticed than ever before.

With regard to the recent article posted (10/2/2016) my band has been involved with BMU for some time now and I can flatly state that they don't meet people outside of their offices. That simply never happened to us or any other band on their roster. I know of many artists who are benefiting from their input and investment, who've had studio time, photo shoots and videos done for them. Shortly there'll be some pretty high profile events rolled out by the company so posting stuff like that is really quite childish to be honest...

Good connections as it is, and with Band Management Universal I remember how well-connected this company is in terms of finding a studio, a good booking agent and rendering a good PR rep or a gig without wasting my bands’ time. I think the company is dedicated in putting the career of their artists in a fast pace while giving a better publicity through the connections they have. They are not just into being able to rattle off a list of names, but are able to find you opportunities you would not be able to find yourself and that’s how a reliable band management company should be. Thank you Band Management Universal for being one.

Helped us get our albums done which would've been difficult without the BMU's financial suport. Also, works really hard to fulfill the artists need and keeps us informed about what's going on.

Band management Universal are a really good company to do business with. Since being signed to them as an artist myself my career has sky rocketed in the music industry with plenty of live shows, sponserships, and alot of recognition for the music l love making which also lead to alot of attention from major record labels. Band management Universal has everyone's best interest at heart that they sign and encourages them into achieving there greatest potential.

I have been with B. M. U now for less than a year and they done so much for me... i signed with only a list of songs in my back pocket and a guitar!. No band!... B. M. U set up auditions for me at the music complex and within only 3 auditions i found my band members!
Photo shoots quickly followed at quality studios and for the E. P B. M. U sent us to Heart of gold studios London, a quality studio with a great producer in Tim Bazell.The quality of there connections and attitude is there for you to see.If you are thinking about signing with this company all I can say is... what are you waiting for?!

I 've been signed to BMU for 5 months now, and I can tell you this is the only way to get things going. BMU will get you recorded, with caring producers and top gear! I was lucky to get myself picked up and now I am truly enjoying the ride!
