Building a music career involves a lot more than writing, recording and performing.
There are funding applications to write, releases to organize, platforms to update, websites to maintain, opportunities to submit for, marketing campaigns to coordinate and approximately seventeen different deadlines that somehow all land in the same week.
Malkin Music provides practical management and project support for independent artists who need experienced help behind the scenes.
We can step in for a specific project, a release, a funding cycle or an ongoing period of artist development…helping you build the systems, materials and strategy needed to move your work forward.
A strong project can still struggle if the application doesn’t clearly explain why it matters.
We help artists identify appropriate funding opportunities, shape projects around funding criteria, prepare applications, build supporting materials and manage the administrative pieces that come with funded projects.
Support can include:
Releasing music means coordinating a surprising number of moving parts.
We help build the plan behind the release, from timelines and assets to distribution, promotion and follow-up, so nothing important disappears into the void between “the master is finished” and “the song is out.”
Support can include:
Good music still needs somewhere for people to find it.
Through our background in digital marketing and artist development, we can help artists build a professional presence that supports releases, bookings and long-term career growth.
Services may include:
Not every release needs a giant PR campaign.
Sometimes what an artist actually needs is a smart story, the right materials and targeted outreach to the people most likely to care.
Depending on the project, we can help with:
Sometimes the question isn’t “How do we promote this release?”
It’s “What should we be doing next?”
We work with artists to look at the bigger picture, releases, live performance, funding, audience development, branding, and professional opportunities… and figure out the strongest next move.
That might mean building a six-month release plan.
It might mean applying for funding.
It might mean rebuilding an outdated website.
It might mean deciding not to release something yet.
We want to make sure you do the right things, in the right order.
Every artist is at a different stage, so we don’t force projects into a one-size-fits-all management package.

A release, funding application, website, campaign or submission.
