Big Mavis Music provides both 360 degree and ala carte services, including: artist development, music production, marketing, and management support to our clients. Owner/President Missy Davis Jones, known affectionately by her artists as "Mama Bear," mixes small town community with big music biz strategy. The result is a nurturing and ethical environment for artists to become established and grow. In addition to our in house services, we also provide access to experienced legal counsel, business management, and outsourced marketing/promotion professionals.
Artist Management & Development
Artist Development services are available to artists who are not under contract to Big Mavis Music, on an ala carte basis. Examples of ala carte services might include creating a one sheet, giving production input on your record, coordination of your merchandise, or help creating your website. Services are quoted based on individual needs, so please contact us for a free consultation.
Management Services are offered to a select group of clients. Our Artists are selected based on our personal synergy as well as our ability to deliver on the Artist's expectations and needs. A manager-artist relationship is much like a marriage. It is based on deep trust, and the ability to communicate productively and candidly about intimate topics such as personal appearance, finances, and your art. Big Mavis does not enter into an artist relationship lightly, and typically has a relationship for many years with an artist on a developmental level prior to signing them to the roster. For consideration, please contact Big Mavis Music regarding Artist Development services as an absolutely necessary first step.
