Approach

Most managers come in once the music is made. We get involved earlier, because the music, the story and the business all shape each other.

Forma pairs full-service management with hands-on artist development. Both of our founders are producers with A&R backgrounds, so we can help shape the songs and the sound as well as the plan around them.

That means one team carrying the same vision from the studio to the stage to the deal table, instead of handing an artist off between people who never talk to each other.

Artist Management

Full-service management for recording artists at any stage of their career. We handle the business so you can focus on the music.

  • Long-term career strategy and planning
  • Deal negotiation with labels, publishers and partners
  • Building the team: booking, label, publishing and press
  • Release planning and scheduling
  • Day-to-day business and logistics

Artist Development

For emerging artists building the foundation of a lasting career, combining A&R perspective, production expertise and real-world industry experience.

  • Sound: songwriting, production direction and recording
  • Story: who the artist is and what they have to say
  • Brand: visual identity, photography and presence
  • Live: shaping the show and the stage
  • Readiness for labels, partners and press

How we work with the artists we represent

A small roster, on purpose

We only take on as many artists as we can give real attention to. Every artist on the roster works directly with both founders.

In the room for the music

We’ve written, produced and toured. We give notes on songs and records, not only on calendars and contracts.

Built around the artist

There’s no template. The plan starts with the artist’s goals, story and audience, and the team is built around them.

Thinking in years

A single moment can open a door. We focus on what keeps it open: a catalog, an audience and a team that last.

Who we work with

Artists in CCM, Pop and Country with something to say.

We work with a select roster by invitation and aren’t accepting unsolicited submissions. Labels, booking agents and press can reach us any time.
