Director and head of music, Dale Olivier recently said “ It’s amazing to see the shift in the music Industry since the digital age of music began in the 90’s which is when we first started out and based our model on the basic principle of Independent music; sharing costs and revenue with the artists. We came against some fierce criticism from some artists, the musician’s Union, music press and other labels for charging artists for services. This has now however become the main model of the new music Industry. This did not deter our vision and we carried on regardless which eventually lead to us working with the biggest names and companies in the music business. We always adopted and embraced the “digital” changes and used technology and the Internet to build not only our brand, but help artists that were completely unknown achieve official chart positions and achieve coverage on Major platforms. As an artist myself I understood the plight and vision of musicians and how hard it can really be. I then incorporated this into our company’s strategy; sticking to the much needed time and effort to build an artist’s career as opposed to the instant fame solutions and services that inhabit the Internet these days and encouraged by TV shows like X-Factor. We always aim to work with the best and most serious artists/clients and have found that artists who are doing it just for the instant fame and who are troublesome about it - never make it. So I am ecstatic that after all these years we have become known as the “original artist and label services company”.  

Matchbox Recordings also broadcast a PRS for Music licensed Internet Radio station known as “Matchbox Radio 24 “ playing brand new music alongside hits 24 hours a day. The company also offers a digital Media supply service called “The Matchbox Digital Record Pool” at www.matchbox-ipool.com which allows Press, Radio, DJ’s, Record Label Licensees, Film Companies and all of the media to access brand new artist releases and broadcast MP3’s for FREE as long as they leave valuable feedback for the artists.
