"A co-pilot for the journey" — There is no school for the aspiring artist, the new artist, or the artist struggling to reach the next level. There is no self-help manual and there are no daylong training sessions.

For the artist, there is no substitute for hard work and constancy to your dreams to move your career forward—just as there is no substitute for the insight and guidance that seasoned music biz professionals like the Thompson Entertainment Group can give your career path. Our years of industry insider’s experience and our proven development and marketing know-how can help your own years of dedication and dreams finally pay off. What’s more, TEG is a small company, enabling us to give you the truly personalized attention you deserve. We will work closely and tirelessly with you to develop a plan for success that is custom-tailored to your individual needs and goals.

There’s a final critical distinction to TEG. Put very simply, we care. Both about the music and about those who work so hard for their music. That’s why there’s a heart at the center of the Thompson Entertainment Group logo. But of course, this road you’ve chosen can be a tough journey. You need a trustworthy, committed and caring co-pilot—and that’s precisely the reason for the pilot’s wings in our logo.

Like most artists, you probably have asked yourself this question: “How do I get my music on the radio and in the store?” In fact, we bet you’ve asked yourself lots of questions through the years. That’s the nature of this business. Multitudes of questions and unclear answers. What is artist development? How do I get my music to a record label? What is the difference between a major label and an indie label? What is a publishing deal and can it help me? What about a music video? Do I need a manager? Do I need a producer? A publicist? A booking agent? How can a fan club help me?

We promise you, there’s no question that the Thompson Entertainment Group has not heard. Here’s another, more important promise. We’ll help you find the answers that are right for you.

"Let our experience determine your course" — After more than a decade spent working with major label acts and some of the best management, label, creative and booking people in the entertainment industry, Chuck Thompson opened the Thompson Entertainment Group in the spring of 1992. He envisioned TEG as the home for the artist whose goal is to create great music while retaining his or her own unique identity. We are a hands-on team of people who are always true to the music while keeping the artist at the focal point of all our work.

We are very selective about the artists and the projects we chose to work with. Each is very special to us and we think of each of them as part of our family. And like any family, we protect them with the ferocious tenacity that is required to make headway in this industry.

Maybe you need a producer, a manager, an agent, a publicist and maybe you don’t. But before you commit to a costly support system that may be unnecessary or, worse, ineffective, contact our team. We can help you reach your goals. We can help you get to the right people in the right way. We can help you keep from making errors that can be so devastatingly costly, both to your career and your pocketbook. We have helped others, and we can help you navigate the business of “The Music Business” and chart a course for success.
