Century Music Group LLC is a producer-led music production and artist development company based in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in 1999, the company works with independent singer-songwriters and recording artists who create original music. According to its website, the company is “built around the belief that strong songs and strong recordings create the foundation for long-term artist growth,” and it focuses on country, Americana, folk, acoustic pop, roots rock, and related genres. The company emphasizes that “great careers are built around great songs, strong recordings, and clear direction.”
Services
The company organizes its work around four primary services. Music production provides professional Nashville recording for independent singer-songwriters. Artist development covers creative direction and project planning for artists who are, in the company’s words, “serious about their craft, committed to growth, and interested in building something meaningful over time.” Release and promotion involves release strategy, promotion planning, and audience growth. Publishing support offers selective representation for original songs.
The company describes a five-step working process: submit, review, discuss, plan, and execute. Recording sessions take place in Nashville, while development and planning work can be conducted remotely. Artists may work remotely or travel to Nashville for recording sessions. Pricing is described as custom and arranged per project.
About
Century Music Group LLC was founded in Nashville in 1999. Art Ward is listed as founder and President, described on the website as having over 30 years of experience across recording, artist development, publishing, radio, and label roles. The company states that it works with artists across the United States and Canada and also reviews select international submissions when appropriate.
The website is clear about what the company is not. It states that it does not operate as a traditional record label and does not offer standard record deals or guaranteed outcomes. It does not accept lyric-only submissions, AI-generated music, or projects without original music, and it notes that it is not a fit for artists seeking “overnight success.” A defining policy is that artists retain “100% ownership of their sound recordings (masters).”
Location & Contact
The company is based in Nashville, Tennessee. The website does not publish a full street address. Contact is handled primarily through a music submission form on the site, which asks artists to submit one to three original songs for review. The company maintains a presence on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Soundcloud.
Additional Information
Submissions are reviewed selectively, and the company works with artists nationwide and internationally rather than limiting itself to local clients. Its stated focus is on building lasting artist careers around quality songs and recordings rather than offering quick or guaranteed results. The website organizes its content into sections covering About, Music Production, Artist Development, Release and Promotion, Publishing Support, Resources, and Submit Music.
