What We Do

There are too many companies out there offering the same product. We should give people a different experience. Otherwise it's a waste of time.

By developing a one-stop-shop our clients can engage us for specific services when most needed.  We provide vertically integrated music marketing and career development services to recording artists, independent record labels, arts organizations and entertainment companies from across Canada and around the world.

"Entrepreneurship is Essential" and your song is not a business plan.

Music Business 101 is one thing but the DIY mentality can quickly lead to WTF!  In order for new artists to have the best competitive edge they must combine their passion for music with sound entrepreneurial practices and with over 20 years experience in the business we call music, Brian Watson, founder and president of Maximum Music speaks, teaches and writes about proven real-world career development strategies and marketing techniques, while exploring new and innovative ways that the DIY artist can connect, market and promote themselves on the world stage.

Brian is a current faculty member at The Harbourside Institute of The Arts, has presented classes at the Capilano University and Vancouver Island University and is a panellist at various music industry conferences across Canada. He is also an active member of both the Juno Awards selection jury and the Canada Council for The Arts peer assessment committee and is a past sitting member of the Capilano University's Arts and Entertainment program advisory board.
