We were lucky to catch up with Isaac Williams recently and have shared our conversation below.
Isaac, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I came up with the idea of 215 Music Group when I noticed that the digital consumption of music was evolving and that the need for full-length albums has become less of a necessity. With this in mind, I wanted to create a company that focuses on a single-deal model, giving artists the freedom to explore their creativity and reach their goals without the burden of a long-term contract.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’ve been in the music world for a while, working at major labels and music publishers. I spotted some gaps in the whole music distribution scene. So, I thought, why not do something about it? And that’s how 215 Music Group was born!
At 215 Music Group, we keep it simple yet effective. We’re all about singles – that one hit that artist dream of to elevate their career!
Here’s what we bring to the table:
Music Distribution: We get your single out there on all the major platforms and more in major countries in Africa and China.
Music Licensing: Wanna see your tune in a movie, show, or commercial? We’ve got the connections to make it happen.
Playlist Pitching: We’ll push your track to the right ears, so it gets the love it deserves on playlists.
Branding: Let’s make you shine. We find brands that ties into who you are as an Artist.
So, what sets us apart? We’re not big corporate suits. We’re music lovers and creators, just like the artist partners we choose to work with.
We’d really appreciate if you could talk to us about how you figured out the manufacturing process.
We got started when we launched a strategic partnership with Verse One Music Distribution, a leading name in the music distribution industry. This collaboration was the start of a significant milestone in the music industry and promise to bring enhanced opportunities to independent artists.
Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?
My journey began with extensive research into grants and funding opportunities available in the music industry. I discovered that there were several grants dedicated to supporting emerging entrepreneurs in the music sector. These grants aimed to foster innovation, creativity, and new talent. Armed with this knowledge, I meticulously curated a list of potential grants and began the arduous process of crafting compelling grant proposals.
In parallel, I realized the importance of personal investment in my dream. I started saving diligently, cutting back on non-essential expenses, and channeling a significant portion of my income into a dedicated savings account.
