WE HAVE BUILT A REPUTATION FOR LAUNCHING AND BREAKING ARTISTS ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE WHEN THEY ARE UNDER-VALUED ON HOME SOIL, AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE DID WITH GREGORY PORTER.
HAILING FROM BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIA, GREGORY PORTER SIGNED WITH MOTÉMA. UNDER A LABEL LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR EUROPE, MEMBRAN LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR GREGORY’S SUCCESS WITH HIS GRAMMY NOMINATED DEBUT ALBUM “WATER”. THROUGH A STRATEGIC MARKETING, PR, AND RADIO CAMPAIGN SUPPORTED BY CONTINUOUS TOURING TO BUILD AWARENESS FOR PORTER, THE BREAKTHROUGH CAME WITH THE FOLLOW-UP ALBUM “BE GOOD”. WE DROVE THIS ALBUM TO CHART ON ITUNES AND AMAZON IN THE UK, GERMANY AND SPAIN, ALONG WITH AN ARRAY OF YEAR-END BEST-OF LISTS, AND A GRAMMY NOMINATION
AFTER THIS RUNAWAY SUCCESS OF “BE GOOD” MEMBRAN COMPILED AND RELEASED “ISSUES OF LIFE”. PORTER HAS GONE ON TO A GRAMMY WIN, FURTHER NOMINATIONS, AND NUMEROUS OTHER AWARDS INCLUDING AN IMPALA AWARD AND THE ECHO JAZZ IN GERMANY.
