Our ethos
Our aim at 5MM is to provide a hands-on personal service for our writers. We believe that good communication is the key to a successful partnership and we are therefore available at all times to discuss new projects and provide support and advice to our writers. No one ends up being the little fish at 5MM.
We ensure that all the music is circulated continuously, and delivered to the right people. We evaluate each project individually, so whether the project at hand is a worldwide advertising campaign or an independent film being made on a shoestring, our criteria for where and how to place our music is assessed on a case-by-case basis. We understand that some projects have value in more ways than just the obvious financial ones.
Encompassing a variety of styles including rock, jazz, folk, funk, electronica, pop and hip hop, our catalogue is steadily growing and chosen with the greatest of care.
We are however, always on the lookout for real talent and originality so, if you would like to find out more, please get in touch
