SECOND STAGE CREATIVE ARTS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

We offer a full range of professional services to support musicians and other artists.  We have two mobile digital studios (Spirit of the Islands Recording), and we operate an independent record label (Blue Island Records), handle music publishing and distribution (Musicafrolicus/SOCAN) and offer management services that include career development, grant and proposal writing, tour planning, promotion and publicity, photography, website design and assistance with enhancing income from artist rights and royalty streams.

​

With more than forty years of experience in the Canadian and American music industry, and after founding two non-pros well as the NL Writers Alliance, we are uniquely knowledgeable about the challenges faced by artists.  We will make the experience and insight gained through this work available to help you become

more effective in reaching a wider audience.

The artists with whom we have worked in past decades include Amelia Curran, Jill Porter, Archie Fisher,

Eric Bogle, James Keelaghan, John Cossar, Ed Kavanagh, Carolina East, Bailey Jordan Neil, Rozalind MacPhail, Andrew Pike, Glenn Simmons and Ariel Rubin, as well as groups like Mopaya, Trombones to Go,

We are always happy to meet with artists and groups who would like to take their work to the next level,

and those who need help with the complex challenges of marketing to a world audience.
