A network measured by what the community gets.
MBSGG is a for-profit company with a nonprofit heart. Every artist who keeps their rights and every creator we put in front of a new audience is the point — not a marketing story we tell afterwards.
Five promises we can be held to.
Not values on a wall. Specific, checkable commitments — hold us to them publicly.
We will never acquire an artist's rights
No masters, no publishing, no exclusivity, in any agreement we offer. Ever.
Submission will always be free
National Spotlight and music submission carry no fee, now or later.
No one is turned away for lack of a studio
A bedroom recording or a video shot on a phone is enough to be heard.
Foundation scholarships are funded by our growth
As the network grows the scholarship pool grows with it, not the other way around.
We publish what we actually achieve
Real member counts, broadcast hours and scholarship dollars — not estimates.
Why community impact is the business model, not the charity arm.
A media network that extracts from its members eventually runs out of members. One that makes its members more successful gets more of them, and keeps them longer.
That is not idealism — it is the whole reason the no-rights-acquisition model works. An artist who keeps their catalogue stays for a decade. An artist who signs theirs away leaves the moment they can.
The same is true of the musicians we hire from social media. A player who is paid fairly and credited by name tells every other player they know.
The nonprofit that keeps the door open.
Our nonprofit affiliate exists so money is never the reason a gifted person stays unheard.
Academy Access
Full and partial scholarships to Bloodstone Legacy Academy for artists who cannot cover tuition.
Community Workshops
Free media, recording and business workshops run in the neighborhoods we serve.
The gap we were built to close.
These are the markets MBSGG serves — and the reason a community-owned network has room to exist at all.
