The music industry is changing quickly.

Streaming transformed how music is consumed, and AI is currently revolutionizing how it’s created, and while it’s tempting to look at these changes and feel lost, frustrated, or even hopeless….

…. at MAD Records, we believe that in every period of disruption, there is opportunity.

The music industry has always evolved rapidly as new technologies replace old ones.

But amidst all of the change, one thing has always remained constant:

Great music has always emerged from a great community.

That’s why we’re building the MAD Records Collective, an online community of forward-thinking independent artists and industry insiders that are banning together to boldly take on the next era of the music industry.

We’ve brought together artists, producers, sync-industry professionals, and former financiers to create an online ecosystem where artists can learn, grow, and get access to real opportunities for their music careers.

Originally founded in 2024 by Wall Street-er turned artist, Michael Gilbride, and former Atlantic Records A&R, Rob Schustack, the MAD Records Collective has already amassed hundred of members and thousands of loyal followers.
