| Muthas Of Invention / Music Blog |  | | Welcome to Muthas! | Muthas is a radical new music company taking full advantage of the emerging digital landscape to maximise the marketing and revenue opportunities for artists, labels and catalogue owners.
Taking a holistic approach to an artist or catalogue, Muthas i recognise the increasingly diverse ways it could be monetised. And crucially, Muthas i still believe in proper taste, quality control and good old-fashioned music-biz cunning. Current clients include Amp Fiddler, Stephanie McKay, Morley, Bugz In The Attic and the Coopr8 network of independent artists (www.coopr8.net).
Through a partnership with K7, Muthas launched Muthas of Invention (MOI) in
July 2008. First out the stable is Stephanie McKay i a long term collaborator of
Amp Fiddler i with her debut MOI album "Tell It Like It Is". MOI has also
attracted to the stable the band Drugs i, the authentic progeny of the
Parliament/Funkadelic family, where Amp Fiddler and Stephanie McKay first
met. The brainchild of Robert "Chicken" Burke, Drugs will be releasing a
slew of albums following on from Drugs Prescription for Mis-America of new
and established Americana talent, with offerings from Drugs vocalist Joey
Eppard as well as his own self titled album.
Chicken is currently making a name for himself with a string of film credits under his wing, including the successful "Paris" soundtrack released in January 2008 which topped the French music charts and the US film "The Rocker" released internationally this summer. When he's not busy doing this, he has also been busy being the executive producer on Stephanie McKay's new album and is co-producing Amp Fiddler's third artist album.
Stable mate Amp Fiddler will also be featuring on another K7/Strut project
"Inspiration Information" with reggae legends Sly and Robbie in 2008.
New additions to the management roster this year were Bugz in the Attic and
the legendary Coop family of West London producers. We will be expecting
releases from Bugz in the Attic in 2008/9 (their second remix album and
their second artist album) as well as retrospectives and new artist albums
from West London luminaries such as Kaidi Taitham, Afronaut, Phil Asher,
Domu amongst others. The retrospective will be titled "Exposed". These will
be a consolidation of these artists' numerous projects and pseudonyms. All
of these releases are only possible due to the cooperative management model
of development each artist is working through with Muthas.
