Record labels don’t develop artists. TMA does. How can we help you?

Now that the world is opening back up it’s time to get back to business! We are now scheduling fall 2020 Music Management Consultations worldwide. There’s plenty of time to redeem these past few months’ of inactivity and plan for a dynamically exciting 2nd half of 2020 and begin preparing for 2021.

Limited in-person consultation dates for September & October. How can we help you?

TMA Artists are already planning their 2021 releases and tours. Are you?

For the solo artist or band, record labels aren’t developing artists anymore. Most will only consider picking up an artist who is already fully-developed. So, somewhere along the line the artist must invest in his/her development if they want to take their music to a national level. TMA provides that development service as well as ongoing management. And it all starts with the consultation.

Gary is awesome and extremely knowledgeable of the industry and his no-nonsense approach is refreshing. He has already given me tremendous support from our consultation. I am excited about growing my music ministry more than ever before with TMA as I look forward to working with Gary in the future.

Christopher Dolan Music, Ocala, FL.
High quality teaching, very comunicative! Its so easy to understand the process of getting an artist/music manager, when you have the right people to show you how its done! Excellent meeting!

Daniel Aguilera Flores, Producer, Los Angeles
Amazing advice from Gary. Great meeting. I recommend his services.

Montéa Albouy, Artist, Paris, France
Gary is an innovative and creative manager with progressive ideas. I recommend his forward thinking company for anyone looking for artist management.

Kathy Douglas, Indie Extreme
Gary spent a good deal of our consultancy time together asking important questions and listening. I was so pleased to find that Gary genuinely wanted to ‘get’ me first and then customize his services to exactly my needs. He did not have a one-size-fits-all approach at all! He took the time and had the skills and insight to ‘understand me and what I believe I’m called to do before supplying excellent advise for the path ahead. Not only have I found solid professional insight in Gary, I have found a potential ministry partner.

Grant Norsworthy – Dove Award winner, Grammy nominee, bassist for Paul Colman Trio and SonicFlood
Gary's integrity and creativity makes him a pinnacle in his industry. His quick thinking and highly innovative concepts are really fantastic. Not to mention, he is just a great guy to be around. I highly recommend Gary Stripling.

Jeremiah Johnson, Graphic Designer
Gary is an incredibly talented professional who does great work. He has the utmost integrity and very knowledgeable in his field. I would recommend him to anyone who is needing management or web services. He would be a great asset to anyone.

Paul Hollifield, Lead Pastor
Gary was my website manager for over two years and was very punctual, as well as innovative in his design and management of the site. I recommend his services highly, and think you will find him a great help to your business!!!
