“Established acts such as Madness have enjoyed huge career boosts thanks to investment into their self released albums.”
Best Investments, Music Week, April 2010
“At a time when talk of an ‘investment gulf’ is increasing, the development of new funding sources is surely an opportunity, not a threat for the [music] industry.”
The Investment Issue, Music Ally, April 2010
“A very small minority of artists, mostly well known, established acts, are achieving success through this DIY route.”
John Kennedy, Chairman of IFPI, Investing In Music (IFPI Report), March 2010

CLIENT FEEDBACK
“I am delighted to have signed a groundbreaking deal with Power Amp. It provides me with a financial commitment equivalent to that of a major record company, but with a much greater degree of control and ownership over my career.”
Charlotte Church, Multi-Platinum Selling Singer/Songwriter
“[Power Amp’s] visionary business model has enabled [us] to build a bespoke team around the band and has helped us retain a clear overview of all marketing and promotional activity. Through this agreement the band feel they have much more control over their commercial activities than they have ever had before and stand to receive a much fairer share of the revenue they generate. Madness has signed this deal because Power Amp has consistently sought an alignment of interests between the band and the company. Tom Bywater has created an amazing opportunity to build a new music company around the bands interests, and the timing couldn’t be better.”
Garry Blackburn, Co-manager of iconic British band Madness
