“We’re proud to say that our artists are paving the way for this business model to be successful.” – Luis Arellano, President of MPM Latin.

“It’s kind of an art AND a science to be able to tell which creators that are predominantly known for online videos/content can be taken seriously as credible musicians,” states Eric O’Connor.

“We’ve seen hundreds of online creators try to ‘make music’ over the past 3 years, and for the most part, it’s just ok. We have 2 artists that are signed to US labels that started on YouTube, DDG (@pontiacmadeddg) at Sony Epic and Pantoja.  So we’re on to something.” – Dimitri Hurt.

“It all starts with the music. You can have 15 million followers and just because you make a song that does great numbers, doesn’t mean that the ‘industry’ will accept you,” O’Connor cautions. “The music has to be great.”

“These guys have shown a proven track record of not only finding these successful acts early on but also in sticking with them to develop them and provide them with the strategy and resources they need to succeed and be great artists. UMLE is happy to be in business with MPM.” – Victor Gonzalez, President of UMLE. 

In its 3 year history, MPM has already earned 4 gold records, with the latest being certified by the RIAA, in April 2020. MPM songs have over 1 billion streams to date.
