Our Mission
Elevating Every Voice in Music
High Profile Music, LLC is a full-service songwriting, music publishing, and creative services company. We bridge the gap between talented songwriters and the artists, producers, and labels who need their work — creating pathways where none existed before.
From major-label placements to independent sync deals, from royalty advocacy to our groundbreaking Incarcerated Songwriter Program, HPM operates at the intersection of industry expertise and human dignity.
We don't just place songs — we build careers, protect rights, and open doors that have been closed for too long.— Founder, High Profile Music, LLC
What We Stand For
Our Core Values
01
Integrity First
Every deal we negotiate, every contract we review, every royalty we track — we do it with complete transparency and unwavering commitment to our creators.
02
Access for All
Talent doesn't discriminate. Neither do we. HPM actively works to remove barriers that have historically kept underrepresented creators out of the industry.
03
Industry Excellence
We hold ourselves to major-label standards in everything we do — because our songwriters deserve nothing less than the best representation available.
04
Long-Term Advocacy
We're not transactional. We build lasting relationships with our songwriters, fighting for their rights and royalties long after the initial placement.
