Keep your music. Get your audience.

MBSGG is not a label. We do not take your masters, your publishing, your copyrights, or a cut of your name. We give you the two things a label makes you trade all of that for — real exposure and real development.

You keep 100% of your masters

We never ask for ownership of a recording. Not for airplay, not ever.

You keep 100% of your publishing

Your songs stay yours. We help you register them — we do not take them.

No exclusivity

Play anywhere else you want. Sign elsewhere later. Nothing here blocks you.

No cut of anything we didn't earn you

Your shows, your merch, your streaming, any deal you land yourself — we take nothing. Paid services are priced up front, and you choose them.

The Deal, In Plain English

The trade every artist is asked to make — and why we do not ask it.

The traditional model says: give us your rights and we will give you a chance. Most artists take it, because a chance is the only thing they cannot manufacture alone.

We think that is a false choice. Exposure is a service. It can be offered at a fair price — or free — without anyone signing away the one asset they actually own.

To be precise about it: airplay and submission are free. Some services — recording, release, publishing administration — are paid, and they are priced openly before you buy. What never happens is MBSGG taking ownership of your work.

If any agreement we ever put in front of you asks for your masters, your publishing or exclusivity, do not sign it. That is not our model.

What You Actually Get

Four ways your work reaches people.

Not one channel. Four — because an independent artist needs repetition across formats far more than one lucky placement.

Artist FAQ

What artists ask us first

Does MBSGG take any of my rights?

No. We never take masters, publishing, copyrights or exclusivity, and we take no cut of your outside income. You keep 100 percent of everything you own. We ask only for written permission to broadcast your recording, and you can withdraw that permission at any time.

Is it free to submit my music?

Yes. Submitting music for airplay consideration is free, and National Spotlight submissions are free. There is no submission fee, now or later.

What kind of music do you play?

Gospel, inspirational, urban contemporary, contemporary Christian and praise and worship. We are a faith-centred network, and everything we air meets a family-friendly standard.

Do I have to be signed or registered with a PRO?

No. You do not need a label, a distributor or a PRO registration to be played on MBSGG. If you are not registered with a performing rights organisation we will ask for written permission to broadcast, which costs you nothing and takes nothing.

How is this different from playlist pitching services?

Playlist services pitch you to algorithmic playlists on platforms you do not control. MBSGG gives you airplay on a television network, rotation on a radio station and coverage in a magazine — three channels, run by people, with a named human deciding to play you.

What is the Artist Development Academy?

A 12-week cohort programme covering artist identity and branding, songwriting and recording, the business of music including publishing and royalties, and content and social strategy. It ends in a live showcase and a media day on MBSGGTV.
