Most consultants try to make artists fit the industry. HMG does the opposite.

We help independent musicians build careers that fit who they actually are without the corporate BS or cookie-cutter strategies.

Does This Sound Familiar?

- You're overwhelmed by conflicting advice and don't know where to start - Every strategy feels like it's designed for someone else, not you

- You're tired of feeling like you have to compromise who you are to "make it"

- You want to build something sustainable, not just chase viral moments

- You need someone who actually understands the independent music scene

​

If this is you, you're in the right place.

Here's How HMG Works

We don't push generic formulas or corporate strategies. Instead, we help you:

✓ Get unstuck and gain clarity on your next move

✓ Build an authentic brand that reflects who you truly are

✓ Create strategies designed for longevity, not luck

✓ Take confident action—even when it's uncomfortable

​

Because sustainable careers aren't built on following someone else's playbook. They're built on understanding yourself and moving forward with purpose.

The Process

STEP 1: Free Discovery Call We talk about where you're stuck, what you've tried, and what you're trying to build. No sales pitch—just an honest conversation.

STEP 2: Get Clear We cut through the noise and figure out what actually matters for YOUR career—not some generic template.

STEP 3: Build Your Strategy Together, we create a personalised plan that fits your goals, your brand, and your life.

STEP 4: Take Action (With Support) You move forward with clarity and confidence, with me in your corner when you need guidance, accountability, or a reality check.

Hi, I'm Mike,
the founder of HMG.

I'm a bass player, session musician, and the person behind HMG. I got into music at 13 and have spent the last 16 years working in the industry, gigging, touring, and working with artists who are trying to navigate the messy reality of building sustainable careers.

 

I created HMG because I kept seeing talented musicians get stuck—not from lack of talent, but because the business side felt impossible. So I decided to do something about it.​
