History of Horus Music
Although we initially concentrated on music management, we quickly realised that music distribution was a problematic area. We saw music distribution as an area controlled by a few companies, as a result we knew that artists could quickly lose money if they weren’t careful. We knew that we could do better and so we set out to obtain direct contracts and make sure that all releases were handled in the most efficient way possible.
The principles are still close to our heart and we go further to make sure that all income is passed back to the artists and rights owners at the quickest opportunity and with the utmost transparency.
Our history and industry experience means we know exactly what needs doing at every stage of the process, especially recording, distribution and beyond. We are sympathetic to your needs and are entirely committed to going the extra mile for you.
Global in Spirit: Local at Heart.
