Band Management Universal took my money and did not deliver services. ..DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM! They will threaten you and take your money.

So this is a review on Bmu who me and my band have recently signed with and I have to say I have found them to be a very well connected and professional company . after an initial meeting with them in London I found the staff very polite and considerate to the bands needs not only have they arranged for us to record an EP in a top London studio they are also arranging for us to shoot music videos for the EP and tacking care of all the tour needs I can honesty say that in an industry that has a lot of pit fall's and dead ends Bmu have really opened the door to a successful and sustainable music career thank you to all the staff for all your hard work .

We are passionate supporters of live music, as well as talent-spotting and helping artists and venues to develop and grow. We've been working with BMU since they signed our own managed band and they've kept us involved at every stage, constantly in contact with information about they're doing for the band. Having spoken to a couple of their other artists, the company works hard at giving all of them career guidance if required and the vital tools they need to develop themselves, such as studios and rehearsal spaces. Also BMU have taken transparency to a rare level I've not seen in decades of business dealings. The band and NLB know that we're all in the same team.

After an initial meeting in London in January this year it was clear that we were in talks with a professional and well-connected company. Staff we open, warm and friendly and put us immediately at ease. In our subsequent dealings with BMU we have witnessed first hand their in-depth industry knowledge and skills and look forward to the opportunities that are being put in place by them, such as European dates, recording and video production and indeed every aspect of their tireless work to grow their artists' profiles. Every member of staff we have had dealings with have been nothing but professional, understanding and extremely helpful. BMU go the extra mile to ensure they can put in place what is required to help their artists achieve their goals. We feel truly honoured that BMU have chosen to put their backing and support into our band. Keith Baird

I am a UK rapper and have recently joined BMU. I think that they are a very impressive organisation. Since signing with the company I have not only received representation but also valuable guidance and artist development. Within a week of being added to their roster I was given the opportunity to record in a 48 track digital studio. This was an overwhelming experience, however I was not completely satisfied with the finished product and expressed my concern to BMU staff. The company then found me another studio and this is where I am now recording my current project. The several staff members have a unique work ethic and always keep me in the loop allowing me to take part in the decision making process. After advertising for musicians BMU organised an audition and I was able to select the members for my live band. This service is money well spent. As an artist I think its essential you invest in yourself because if you don't no one else will. New music coming soon

People from this company are polite, I remember asking one of their representative on their social media account and I was surprised that the representative was so polite and she really know how to answer properly. I was just asking something about one of the services that they offer and how to avail it but she gave a detailed info and even helped me through out the process. I can say that this company is not about money and not about what they will get from you. Thumbs up for everyone working here!

This company gives services that leads to a lot of chances of success for the artist that signed under them. Like one of my friend who decided to sign with them its just wonderful to see how he matured in his career of not only making music but making good one and spending wise and where to place top priorities for the progression of his career. I never saw him like this before, and I thought that this is because he is now listening and learning and it is good to know that he did the right choice of having a good manager from this company. There will always be a chance of success for everybody we just have to look for the right place to find it.

I'm not sure they actually exist as a credible business. Looks and feels like a way to get money out of artists - they purport to be in the artist development business, but their contracts are actually loan documents. How many artists can you find out there who are represented by them and have a credible profile? Look up their accounts at Companies House - see if you can find any of their directors or managers anywhere else online. They are (at the time of writing) 4 months late in filing their first accounts. And all the reviews of them on this and other review sites are obviously fake.

with BMU, I come to realize the importance of passion and Music. They have taught me that the most important thing in life is not having a "BIG" career but being happy. As an artist, music is my life, and I thank Band Management Universal for giving me my life.

I have been an artist with Band Management Universal for almost a year now; I could personally vouch for their professionalism. I found some negative reviews in the web, and it is very untruthful and misleading. The company was able to exceed my expectation from a management company. They have been consistent in providing their services. For those who are seeking professional management and promotion, I would definitely recommend Band Management Universal. They have the best staff and managers who are easy to deal with.

Band Management Universal keeps my career on track. Yes, they were able to maximize my skills in music. I have been with several management companies but BMU was the only one who helps me a lot from my finances, recording, studios, events and a lot more. Managers are open-minded, and always find time to seek for my opinion. They chose the best choice, and the results are undoubtedly great. Under their care and supervision I was able to unlock all my possibilities as a musician and an artist. I think that best term would be “grow”. I have been with the company for almost a year now, and my most unforgettable moment was the first music festival that I performed to. Then, I realize how my life and career changed. With this company you will never be wrong.

This management company left in me the principle to do things in the right and honest way, and that is why I want to recommend Band Management Universal to artist out there looking for the right direction in their careers. They are accessible, humble, honest and dedicated in working. The company will boost your confidence, your self-esteem, your character and your spirit to reach for your dreams. Right now I am still working with them and will not definitely choose to look for others because I found the one.

Artists from this company are genuine, unique and humble. I believe that they have a bright future and they did a good move of choosing this company to promote them and took their careers to the next level and soon to the pedestal of their success. I know some of the artists are clinging to others things they can get from their music managers but let me emphasize to you that one of the things we as artists should consider first in having and getting the right music managers for us is the trust factor. Why? Because the trust factor should be mutual for this relationship to work. How will you work with your management team if you can’t even trust them? That’s a gruesome point to consider.

Band Management Universal is not a loan company and the clue is in the title!!!
I am an artist with BMU and they are credible, legitimate, professional and a real music artist management company. I have been signed to BMU since August 2014 and in all my dealings with several of the team there they have been 100% about the artist, the music and the need for progressing in the music business.
I have recorded an album in which BMU set me up with the studio, engineer and producer, they have set up all the arrangements for coming to London to record the album, they have set up auditions for band members for future gigs and they have provided personal help if and when I have ever needed it.
To anyone reading this... Don't listen to negative individuals who get their kicks in life by trying to pull people down, destroy their characters and bad mouth them when all BMU are doing is creating, being positive and giving their time to build artists so that they can have a career in music.
