Countdown Entertainment

First and foremost, we become your personal management consultant. And we're non-exclusive so you can work with other industry professionals and still receive the benefit of our services. We can even help your manager, if you have one.

You'll find out exactly where your music stands in the global marketplace because we give your music the opportunity to be heard by key decision makers. You'll gain valuable exposure and visibility worldwide. We'll give you every chance for your music to be successful and if our leads and contacts agree, you may soon be fielding offers for your music. Here's what else you'll get from us:

Individual attention;
Advice tailored to your needs based on our 30+ years of experience;
Industry contacts including those of key decision makers who have specific music needs and will listen to your music;
Music placement opportunities in film and TV;

Access to a variety of music resources such as music journalists, record promotion companies, record pools and radio stations;
Weekly opportunities to have your music heard by decision-makers. We call these opportunities "leads" and they could be from record or publishing companies, music supervisors for TV or film placements, management co's or even from a successful act looking for material.
And much more.

But wait, there's more good news. The information, sources, leads and contacts you'll receive cannot be found in various industry directories available to just anyone.
