Our Journey

Modern Sound was created to empower independent musicians with the tools, clarity, and strategies to release their music confidently in today’s ever-changing industry.

Founded by Matt Hadley, a music industry veteran with 15+ years of experience leading campaigns for top artists and brands, Modern Sound blends insider strategy with practical, step-by-step resources.

After years of working alongside labels, managers, and artists at every stage of their career, Matt saw the same challenges repeat: creatives were making great music but struggling to market it effectively. Modern Sound exists to close that gap. We believe releasing and marketing your music is just as creative, and just as important, as writing and recording it.

Our mission is simple: to give artists at every level the confidence and clarity they need to release consistently, build their audience, and create lasting impact.
