Originally starting seed as a record label and events promotion company in 2006, Mastermind Records was primarily focused on the electronic niche, releasing numerous records on vinyl and promoting events for Chase and Status, Andy C, and Pendulum to name a few. Mastermind shortly started expanding into the music promotion and branding field, working with a more diverse range of artists such as Dead Prez, Benny Page, and Van Morrison. Through this evolution, Mastermind gained a reputation for strategy and industry expertise; winning awards; selling out events, and implementing successful branding strategies for artists across the globe.
From this, Mastermind began attracting the attention of big names wanting to work alongside Mastermind and it’s Founder Michael Eastwood, including Taylor Swift’s former manager, Rick Barker, Guns N’ Roses former manager, Vicky Hamilton, Dale Penner (Nickelback Producer), and more.
