This innovative and dedicated outfit handles all of the multifaceted components of its clients’ careers, including A&R, production, marketing, branding, touring, etc... Velvet Hammer strives for continued, long-term success – an approach that embodies the “strength in elasticity,” rather than the “quick fix” philosophy.
