Mike Sefton - Music Publishing / A&R / Consultancy

With almost 30 years experience in the music industry, Mike rose from DJ’ing to record retailing before being voted “Club Promotions Manager of the year”, 3 years running whilst working for Phonogram / London Records, influencing the careers of acts such as Cameo, RUN DMC and Shannon. Moving onto A&R at A&M Records, Mike worked with acts such as Janet Jackson, Barry White, Crystal Waters, Robert Clivilles & David Cole, Al Green and Arthur Baker.

Following the sale of A&M to Polygram, Mike moved into Music Publishing where he worked as Senior Creative Manager and then Head of A&R for BMG Music Publishing, later heading up DeConstruction Songs, Ministry Of Sound Music Publishing and V2 Music, signing and working with writers and acts such as X-Press 2, Rollo (Faithless / Dido), Mike Pickering (M People), The Grid, Death In Vegas, Steve Anderson (Kylie Minogue), Steve Robson (Take That, James Morrison), Shep Solomon (Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson) and Metrophonic Music (Brian Rawling, Paul Barry & Mark Taylor).


Mike’s extensive experience in his Creative and A&R roles both for records and publishing put him in a great position to help artists, writers, bands and catalogue owners fulfill their potential and go on to achieve everything they set out to do. In particular Mike's background in DJ culture and Dance A+R , Promotion and Retail, commissioning remixes and crossing club hits to the very top of the pop charts, combined with his experience in working and developing mainstream hit singles and commissioning music for media, is a rare blend in an industry increasing split into categories and sub genres.

Mike has recently formed 2Pointzero Music, a brand new company run by Mike Sefton and Chris Bangs who both have wide range of experience in most areas of the music industry. They can commission, produce, record, master, license and publish music for for Branding, Film, TV, Radio and Games etc. All pieces of music are Copyright Clean, so they are able to clear both Masters and Publishing in a hassle-free manner.

THE NEW WEBSITE ..... WWW.2POINTZERO.TV

Our new website www.2pointzero.tv is live now. We've been experimenting with various Video and Audio players for the site to find something that's going to be rock solid on playback and should have a pretty extensive selection of mp3's and videos on show at launch.

We will also have a short biography section for our composers to let you know more about some of their other musical activities, as well as who we are, what we do and how we work. It's been lots of work putting our website together and we've been pushing the technical envelope of our designer Jimmy Young but he has responded brilliantly to every challenge we've thrown at him and we'll be confidently recommending his services to anyone, particularly if you are the Entertainment Business!

We think the website will prove to be a real asset the continued growth of our company and will always happy to receive your feedback about how easy the site is to work your way around and if you feel there's something we didn't explain as well as we could have.

From his song titles to his subject matter, there is something here for everyone; The Sweet Chap has that gifted knack of connecting with people. To cap all of this, he has the capacity to bring all this together via a truly powerful yet sometimes vulnerable voice.

performances.
