Partnerships
Your way into the music industry.
With someone already inside it.

Talk partnerships
Who it's for
Brands and tech companies
Navigating music for the first time, or wanting activations musicians genuinely want to be part of.

Bringing music into game days, competitions and community programs.
Studios and venues
Partnerships, programming and community that keep the doors busy.
Schools and industry bodies
Scholarships, pathways and programs that connect students with the working industry.
The community
The people your brand wants to reach.
Ron’s network is the working music industry: producers, engineers, artists, songwriters, DJs, students, labels, studios, publishers, venues and the brands that serve them. He has spent 25 years building it, from the Studios 301 Producers & Engineers BBQ to the monthly 301 Socials, Industry Access and The Mentor Academy.

What partners get
Instant credibility with musicians
Artists and the industry turn up because one of their own built it, so your brand borrows 25 years of trust, without looking like it is trying too hard.
Doors already open
Labels, studios, artists, events and clubs, reached through real relationships, without months of cold emails that go nowhere.
One idea, months of content
Planned before, captured on the day and shared after, so the partnership keeps working, without a launch that is forgotten by Monday.
Ron brings most of the work
The talent, the program, the community and the promotion. You bring the brand, the venue or the prize, without stretching your team.
The artist side
Partnerships built by someone who makes the music.
Musicians can tell when a brand gets it. Ron is a songwriter and performer with feature vocals on Defected and Ministry of Sound, writing credits for Marcia Hines, Dannii Minogue and Vogue Williams, and he is published by 120 Publishing. Artists trust a partnership when one of their own is building it.
Since 2023, on his own
