At Hope Tree Entertainment, we are committed to delivering high-quality, cost-effective label services including artist development, music and video production solutions, and cutting-edge branding and marketing strategies.
In today’s rapidly changing entertainment landscape, many young artists are pressured to trade partial ownership of their art in exchange for access to the tools and infrastructure needed for success. Too often, this comes at the steep cost of high-interest, recoupable advances from record labels and entertainment firms.
Hope Tree Entertainment was founded on a different belief: that independent artists deserve world-class support without sacrificing their ownership or creative freedom. We provide the detailed attention and high-end results needed to move careers forward, while ensuring that artists retain 100% of their rights.
