Kansas City · Independent Artists

You create it.
We build it.

MBSGG Global Network gives independent artists — including the ones playing their hearts out on social media — television, radio and press, without asking them to give up a single right they own.

What Makes Us Different

The talent is already out there. Nobody is giving it a stage.

Scroll for five minutes and you will find a guitarist, a saxophonist or a singer who is better than most of what is on the radio, playing to a few hundred followers from a spare bedroom. The industry calls them “social media musicians” and moves on.

We think that is where a lot of real talent lives right now. MBSGG puts those artists on television, on the radio and in print, and hires them to play on our songs.

And we do it without the trade every artist is asked to make. No masters, no publishing, no exclusivity. Everything we broadcast or license is agreed in writing, and you keep what you own.

1

We are a partner, never a gatekeeper

No rights acquisition. No exclusivity traps. What you bring in, you keep.

2

We look where others don't

Bedrooms, living rooms and phone cameras. Polish is optional; talent is not.

3

Paid and credited, every time

Musicians who play on our songs are paid a flat fee and named on the release.

4

Built for careers, not one appearance

Airplay, press and development that keep working after the first feature.

The Network

“I built MBSGG because I got tired of watching gifted people — artists, pastors, everyday folks with something to say — get told to wait their turn. This network is my answer.”

Why It Matters

Talent was never the shortage. Access is.

Streaming made it possible for anyone to release music. It did not make it possible for most of them to be heard, or to earn a living from it.

Common Questions

Questions people ask first

Does MBSGG take any rights to an artist's music?

No. MBSGG never acquires masters, publishing, copyrights or exclusivity, and takes no cut of an artist's outside income. Artists keep 100 percent of what they own. We ask only for permission to broadcast.

What does it cost to submit music to MBSGG?

Nothing. National Spotlight submissions are free, and there is no fee to submit music for airplay consideration on MBSGGTV or MBSGG Radio.

How do session musicians get hired to play on MBSGG songs?

We find players on social media and send them a guide track for a song that fits their instrument. You record your part at home on your own gear, you are paid a flat fee for each part, and you are credited by name when the song comes out. The fee, the credit and the rights are set out in a short written agreement before you start.

Where is MBSGG Global Network based?

Kansas City, Missouri — the first United States city named a UNESCO Creative City of Music, a designation that specifically cites the city's gospel, jazz, blues and Kansas City swing heritage. MBSGG broadcasts nationally.

Your audience is waiting.

Whether you write songs in a bedroom, play on everyone else's, or post covers nobody has noticed yet — there is a place for you on this network.
