EPM emerged in January 2001, founded by Oliver Way, Jonas Stone, and later joined by Melle Boels, initially focusing on promotion and DJ bookings. Recognizing the transformative impact of evolving technologies, such as the emergence of platforms like iTunes and the digital revolution, the company swiftly discerned opportunities to assist current labels and artists in harnessing these advancements. As the digital landscape increasingly shaped the music industry, EPM strategically pivoted its focus.
EPM Music has since evolved into a preeminent provider of professional label and artist services, solidifying its market presence across major outlets including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Rdio, Deezer, and specialized dance platforms like JunoDownload, Beatport, Bleep, Boomkat, and more. Renowned for prioritizing quality over quantity, EPM Music's success is deeply rooted in its personalized approach towards nurturing relationships with labels and artists. The company offers strategic counsel on promotional activities, leveraging robust connections with retail outlets to secure advantageous promotional opportunities for its clientele that may not be accessible through direct outlet interactions.
In 2007, EPM expanded its services by stepping into publishing, empowering its artists and labels to accrue mechanical and public performance income globally. The establishment of an office in the US bolstered EPM's foothold in the sync licensing market, leading to numerous successful placements in television, film, advertising, and gaming—a testament to the company's multifaceted expertise and industry reach.
