ONLY THE BRAVE INDIGENOUS MUSIC CONSULTANTS
Shawn Michael Perry & Belinda Corcovelos (co-owners of OTB – ATC) noticed there was a lack of representation for Native American artists all across the board from management, promotion, to music distribution for Native Americans in film, television, and all areas of the arts. All That Culture has been approached by numerous entities to consider taking on this task to help promote Native Americans along with their careers. With Shawn’s personal experience and desire to help his peoples, it was an honor to take on this task! With Belinda his partner by his side, this team has successfully signed on new clients and has moved forward in a direction that has taken OTB to new heights!
Specializing in North and South American indigenous musical instruments wholesale / retail and education and instruction for said instruments as a member of the National Association of Music Merchants we at OTB decided that many Fortune 500 music distribution companies and their manufactures had little or no relationships with indigenous music artists and their maker. We also can outfit any tribal casinos/event center, schools, tribal complex, and hospitals with all your music media needs!
