We have been working tirelessly over the years to build the best catalog of great independent music from various genres. However, there is one area in which we feel we could do better. Therefor, we are seeking Pop music to represent for licensing in films, TV shows and ad campaigns. By “Pop” we are referring more to the broad appeal of the music than the genre. As long as the song has hit potential, we would like to hear it. Genre wise we are open, but indie pop and indie folk seem to work best for licensing placements.

Here are some great examples of music that we would like to have in our catalog:
- The Lumineers - Ho Hey
- Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home
- Charli XCX - Break The Rules
- James Bay - Hold Back The River

We accept ONE-STOP submissions only, ie songs that you own or control 100% (writer, master and publisher). Please submit only professionally recorded and mastered songs. NO DEMOS, NO COVERS.

As an added bonus, if your song is Selected, we will offer to release your music on Filter Label. The songs by our talented artists can be heard in The OA, Exatlon, The Matrix Revisited, CSI: Las Vegas, Nikita, on ads for McDonald's, Nestle Wagner, Nike, Philip Morris, Hachette Filipacchi, in shows on MTV, CNN, Bravo, Nat Geo, NBC, Esquire, Channel 4 and almost every major TV network in the world.

Pop-Up Music needs 'Pop' Music to add to their roster.

Hurricane Music Group (HMG) is Rock, R&B, and Hip-Hop artists for label roster consideration and album releases. Please submit your best track(s) for consideration.

Alex Roberts and HMG recently made the wise decision to re-enter the Hip Hop world & also venture into the forever popular Pop/R&B, & Electronic/Techno music that caters to a World Wide market & fan base, however still keeping HMG's finger on the pulse of all formats of music pending the artist/band's talent & drive to succeed, including the level of understanding what the true meaning of artist/label relations stands for in order to achieve their desired goals, in other words we work together, not against! Our doors are open, "Let Us Show You".

I am an artist manager that has had some success developing artists who have talent and getting them signed. One of the acts I developed-did the A&R on- had 3 #1 singles on their debut album including the most played song in the nation the year the album came out. That song set a record for staying in the Top 20 on rock radio for 65 weeks- a full year and a quarter.

I am looking for talented writers and performers who also have their stuff together business wise and are not looking for a personal assistant- but a manager.

Being able to make high quality recordings on your own - recordings that sound good enough to be shopped to labels and publishers for sync placements- gives you a big advantage over artists that need to save up and spend to go in the studio or have great songs that are poorly recorded with dated gear.

The record with the #1 singles was recorded in the guitarists basement and those recordings were re-mixed..... and the ability to do high quality work that way gives you a huge advantage over your peers and makes it more likely good things will happen- which is why I need you to be able to operate that way.

I am interesting in hearing all kinds of mainstream radio friendly artists in the rock and pop genre- from heavy metal to hard rock to slick top 40 friendly pop- as well as alternative rock and indie pop that does well on the NRP stations like KCRW in LA and KEXP in Seattle.

I am not looking for country artists rappers or blues artists so if that's you this is probably not the best place to submit.

For everyone who does submit I will give you a little bit of feedback on your song- not just say NO THANKS- feedback that I think will be helpful in getting your songs stronger.

I found the act that had the hit singles on a website and am hoping to find my next hit artist here so if you are doing great sounding mainstream friendly rock or pop I hope I get to hear your music.
