Mum's The Word Music Group is much than just an artist management company. Set-up by the independent minded Jon
Bailey and Marc Sheinman in 2006, the past three years of total focus, dedication, and business development has placed
MTW Music Group firmly on the map as one of the finest, forward thinking and diverse new music companies around.
Although artist/producer management has been at the forefront of the business model, Mum’s The Word is a 360 degree
music company, working its business in new areas. Alongside music, the company’s activity now spans the worlds of
advertising, fashion, media and branding, plus their own record label.
We have recently commissioned a number of adverts and soundtracks for the following clients... Barcardi, Mars, Smirnoff,
XBOX 360, Channel 4, E4, Bahrain Tourist Board, UK Visa, Friendsreunited.com, Motorola, Addict Clothing and many more.
