We had the good fortune of connecting with Mike Berg and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mike, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
The current music industry is changing quickly, especially as it relates to the different ways an artist can monetize their content. However, the overall structure and standards of the same are inefficient, centralized, and full of red tape that is incredibly counterproductive and frustrating for independent artists. More so for producers, a forgotten group within the industry, who, on average, stand to gain between 1-3% on the master points on a completed record and may not even be compensated publishing side if their work is not properly protected and/or negotiated before the record is released.

It is within this highly important and underrepresented niche of the industry where Miami Music Management (“MMM”) has come in to tip the balance in favor of the producer community.

The integration of Web3 ideologies and new technologies in music–focused on automation, decentralization, and community-driven projects–can help create a better atmosphere for independent creatives and solve many of the issues the industry currently faces.

With this in mind, I am proud to announce that MMM has partnered up with Apollo Beats for the launch of the 808 Club. We are focused on creating an exclusive Discord community of 808 producers, artists, engineers, and executives to help shape the future of the music industry through experiences and education. The 808 Club community will feature weekly workshops, beat battles, networking, and different other collaborative opportunities on a regular basis which will help fuel the effective entry, and, for some, improved reinitiation, into the music industry.

What should our readers know about your business?
MMM is a multi-platinum, producer-focused management, production, and publishing company based out of Miami, FL.

With a goal of “putting on for the producer,” MMM has consistently challenged the current music industry and continues to push for more fair standards for producers.

It was not easy overcoming obstacles along the way since most of the music industry is “for the artist” and many do not properly compensate or respect the value producers add to records. Here at MMM, we have learned to be strategic and use different tactics to leverage our producers to properly monetize and shine awareness on their brand.

I want the world to know that MMM will be changing the music industry for producers and independent creatives for the better.
