Genuine Music Group

Artist management has become an interest of mine the more I am involved in the entertainment industry.  I have had the pleasure of working with many talented artists who do not have representation.  Since my blog is about unsigned, underrated, and undiscovered artists, this has helped me find those artists who need proper representation.  Trying to get into this avenue of the industry, I have researched other companies that can help me toward my goals.  One company who had the same idea in mind almost twenty years ago and has had continued success is called Genuine Music Group.

Genuine Music Group started in 1995, by Michael Mavrolas, with its mission being to manage and develop the careers of Music Producers and Songwriters.  The company decided to partner with Greg Johnson in 2002, and from there the company has grown dramatically.  The company now consists of four other avenues including, Genuine Representation Management, Genuine Music Publishing, Genuine Cinema, and Genuine Sports.    This expansion of focus has given Genuine Music Group the opportunity to help more then Music Producers and Songwriters; they can help a wider array of people and this has helped grow their business.

Belinda Womack

Singing in clubs at the age of eleven, Belinda Womack has become a beloved vocalist in the Tampa Bay Area.  Mostly known for her smooth jazz sound, Belinda has sung almost every genre of music over the past 47 years.

Born and raised in Augusta, Georgia, Belinda knew what she wanted at a very young age.  Living in the south during the civil rights era, she experienced a lot of racism and dangerous situations; but the one thing that could not be taken from her was her voice.  She sang in nightclubs with her Uncle Jerry, starting at the age of eleven, and then three days after she graduated from high school, she decided to move to Detroit, before going to Savannah State.  Belinda attended Savannah State from 1970-1972, until she got sick and had to give up her scholarship.  Since her grandparents could not afford paying her tuition for her, Belinda decided to move back to Augusta, and start singing with her uncle again.  After taking a year off, Belinda went back to school at the Medical College of Georgia in 1973, obtaining her associates degree.  Accomplishing this was great for Belinda, but in a couple of years, her degree would come second to her singing career.
