I am Steve Bogen, president of SEMBC - Summit Entertainment Music Business Consulting. I am an independent music business consultant who mostly works with independent labels and has collaborated with major labels as well. With more than thirty-five years of experience across radio, retail, promotion, sales, marketing and merchandising, music publishing, publicity, artist development, contract negotiation, administration, and management, I bring an outside General Manager perspective to help labels maximize the impact of their artists. I maintain a national network for promotion and marketing, including radio and the digital music marketplace, and I understand the current methods used to promote, market, and publicize artists to the right audiences. I work closely with distribution partners and coordinate product placement with distributors. Daily conference calls with labels are common as we navigate release timelines. Notable client labels include Fantasy Records, 19 North Records, and Polygram.…I am Steve Bogen, president of SEMBC - Summit Entertainment Music Business Consulting.
