Talent was never the problem. Access was.
MBSGG Global Network is a Kansas City media and entertainment company built around independent artists — the musicians, singers, producers and creators the industry was never designed to serve, including the ones doing their best work from a bedroom and posting it online.
Why we exist
Some of the best musicians working today are not signed to anybody. They post covers and riffs from home, they write songs nobody has heard yet, and they are better than most people realize. What they lack is not talent. It is exposure, production, distribution and a way to get paid.
The traditional answer is to sign a contract and lose the rights to your own music. We think that is a false choice. MBSGG exists so independent artists can build real careers and real audiences without depending on a record label, a television network or anyone else’s permission.
Why Kansas City
Because this is home, and because Kansas City has a claim no other American city has: in 2017 it became the first United States city named a UNESCO Creative City of Music. The designation cites the city's heritage in jazz, Kansas City swing, blues and gospel.
MBSGG is built to be replicated city by city. Kansas City is where it starts.

Where independent artists build global audiences.
MBSGGTV is becoming more than a television channel: a worldwide media, entertainment and business platform built around the success of independent artists and creators.
A global stage for independents
To become a globally recognized entertainment and media network where independent artists have the opportunity to create, showcase, distribute, and monetize their work while building lasting careers and connecting with audiences worldwide.
Empowering independent artists
To empower independent artists through accessible media platforms, innovative technology, original productions, strategic partnerships, professional promotion, and multiple revenue opportunities — while celebrating creativity, cultural heritage, and community.
Your work stays yours
Independent artists keep ownership of their creative work. Broadcasting, licensing, publishing or any other commercial participation happens only by voluntary written agreement.
One ecosystem, built around the artist.
An artist featured on MBSGGTV is not a one-time appearance. The goal is a continuing relationship between artists, audiences and commercial partners — repeatable opportunities, not a single slot on television.
Bloodstone Legacy Academy is a separate nonprofit. It educates and develops creators; MBSGG provides commercial services and distribution through written agreements. The Academy does not finance or subsidize MBSGGTV, and MBSGGTV recruits established independent artists directly as well.

MBSGGTV
Get your music videos, performances and story onto an actual television channel — on Roku and on the web. No crew to hire and no network deal to sign.
MBSGG Radio
An audio home for independent music, artist interviews and spoken word. Every artist on the station still owns their music.

The magazine covering how independent artists get heard and how they get paid. Features, spotlights and a directory — published at signalandsong.com.
Play on Our Songs
We hire musicians we find on social media to play on MBSGG recordings. Record at home, get paid, get credited by name.
Bloodstone Legacy Academy
Our educational partner, a separate nonprofit. Learn the business, not only the craft — releasing, publishing, rights and the parts nobody explains until it is too late to fix.
Community programming
Community spotlights, youth programming, faith-based content and legacy storytelling continue alongside the artist programming.
“We build opportunities. We amplify stories. We strengthen communities. We create lasting legacies.”
