Aaron Hansel a Marketing Rep for Tate Music Group said that "they know what it means to work hard and be prepared for success. Driven Cure is making every possible opportunity a positive one."

Driven Cure's music ranges from soft strings to raging guitar solos and incorporates emotional lyrics to deliver positive and spirit filled music to the masses.

Their increase in profile views, friends, and current plays helps TMG Marketing secure radio promotion and venues.

Tate Music Group See's the Big Picture

Time and time again Tate Music Group receives praise from industry insiders highlighting our business model, benefits and ethics. Micheal Turner from NewDay, "Being a music industry professional for over 20 years, it's refreshing that a label company like TMG comes along and see's the big picture and understands how to make it work."

Many labels are working a broken model. They know it is broken and continue to work it. The definition of insanity is to keep doing something the exact same way and expect different results each time.

Tate Music Group is a trendsetter. We have major companies trying to jump on board and steal our business model every day. It isn't hard to do but you have to be willing to accept change. This is true in any industry, those that don't accept change fail. For the most part the more technology that is brought to industry is slowly bankrupting the music labels that solely rely on name recognition and album sales to generate revenue. Let's face it this isn't the 80's and artist aren't selling 15 million albums a year.

Tate Music Group has created an artist friendly business model where the artist retains the rights to their music and has the freedom, flexibility and power that is desired. Most importantly TMG's royalty structure is set up so that the artist receives royalties from day one when that first CD is sold! We work extremely hard at TMG and that work ethic drives attention. It isn't surprising to me that TMG receives so many compliments, but it is always nice to hear them!
