** MPi assists artists/labels with marketing services.
** We are not a recording label. (We do not "sign" talent.)
** We do not work on a percentage basis.
** Our promotion/marketing services are generally for established artists/bands/labels who have professional recordings that are already finished. This is our specialty and where we offer the most value for our clients.
** Please do not submit demos, instead come back with the finished product.
**We do not offer reviews or quotes on your song/album.
**We do not accept every project submitted and reserve the right to decline to work (for any reason) on a project. We will only accept a project we feel we can be effective with it.
