COMPANY

Building Infrastructure for Independent Artists


WHO WE ARE

Rise Up Music Group is an independent artist management and development company built to provide structure, coordination, and long-term career support for artists navigating today’s music industry.

Founded on the principle that sustainable success requires more than exposure, we operate as a centralized management platform — aligning strategy, promotion, relationships, and community engagement under one system.

Our work focuses on helping artists move intentionally, with clarity and accountability, while contributing to the cultural and economic ecosystems that support music beyond the studio.

OUR FOUNDATION

Rise Up Music Group’s roots trace back to 2013, when the company facilitated its first formal record deal with Hollywood, California based M. Republik Music Group, owned by Forbes Top 1000 Entrepreneur - Allen Forrest. Since then, our evolution has been shaped by firsthand experience across the independent and major-label landscape — from early radio success to modern digital-era breakthroughs.

Over the years, our work has contributed to:

  1. National and regional radio chart placements
  2. iTunes Top 100 charting releases, including #1 and #4 positions in 2023
  3. Industry recognition from platforms such as The Source Magazine
  4. Artist development that has progressed into major-label partnerships

 

This foundation informs our approach today: practical, informed, and built on lived industry experience rather than theory.

PROVEN MOMENTUM

Recent years have marked a period of accelerated growth and validation for Rise Up Music Group.

Our work has contributed to:

  1. Breakout records achieving national radio success and major co-signs
  2. Artists transitioning from independent development into multi-million-dollar label deals
  3. Viral digital growth reaching tens of millions of accounts across social platforms
  4. Coordinated promo runs combining radio, brand collaborations, live events, and professional media capture

These outcomes reflect not isolated wins, but repeatable systems built around preparation, timing, and execution.

COMMUNITY & CULTURE

Beyond artist management, Rise Up Music Group is committed to community-centered collaboration.

Through initiatives like the Rise Up Takeover and ongoing partnerships with established Atlanta cultural institutions, we work to:

  1. Support Black-owned businesses
  2. Create economic opportunities through music and events
  3. Celebrate local culture and legacy
  4. Build bridges between artists, brands, and communities

We believe culture moves forward when creative and economic interests align — and we design our work to serve both.

Our collaboration with ATL Sneaker Club and Mr Everything Cafe took place in Vine City, one of Atlanta’s most historic neighborhoods, and was rooted in respect for the culture that built the city.

Both brands are trusted names in Atlanta — not just businesses, but places where people gather, connect, and support one another. Bringing artists, food, fashion, and community together in that space wasn’t about promotion alone. It was about creating something that felt authentic to the neighborhood and the people in it.

This collaboration showed what’s possible when artists are introduced to real community platforms, not temporary hype. It supported Black-owned businesses, created energy around local culture, and gave artists a chance to be seen in environments that matter.

That moment in Vine City reflects how Rise Up Music Group moves — intentional, community-centered, and built on real relationships that continue long after the event ends.
