Renegade Music Launches Groundbreaking Artist Development Platform in London
London, United Kingdom – [July 3, 2025] — In an industry often criticised for its gatekeeping and outdated infrastructure, Renegade Music, headquartered in Shoreditch, London, is flipping the script with the launch of its revolutionary Artist Development Platform, built to give independent musicians unprecedented access to the tools, mentorship, and infrastructure traditionally reserved for major label talent.
The new platform offers a fully integrated artist support system, combining digital marketing, music production, branding consultation, playlist pitching, live showcase opportunities, and social media management under one roof. Renegade Music’s headquarters at Soho Works in the Tea Building, 56 Shoreditch High Street, serves as the physical and creative hub of this initiative.
“We’re not just helping artists distribute tracks — we’re building careers,” says Jamie Ryder, Artist Liaison and Creative Director at Renegade Music. “There’s a gap in the industry for real, hands-on development that treats artists as long-term creative partners, not short-term investments. This platform is our answer to that.”
Empowering Independent Voices
Renegade Music was founded on the principle that independent musicians deserve the same quality of representation, resources, and strategy that global label artists receive. The newly unveiled development platform expands that mission, offering tiered packages that cater to artists at different career stages — from debut releases to national touring acts.
Each package includes access to:
- Professional recording studios and engineers
- Mentorship and feedback sessions with A&R experts
- Digital distribution and monetisation strategy
- Playlist placement pitching to Spotify, Apple Music & more
- Visual branding services including photoshoots and EPK development
- Content creation and scheduling across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
- Showcase performances and industry networking events
From Local Roots to Global Reach
Though firmly rooted in the creative melting pot of East London, Renegade Music’s reach extends far beyond UK borders. The company has already helped more than 100 artists grow their fanbases globally across platforms like Spotify, TikTok, and YouTube. Renegade’s flexible hybrid model allows artists to benefit from both local community connections and international distribution potential.
This global-local dynamic is crucial to the company’s philosophy. “We’ve designed this platform to support the cultural richness of UK music while amplifying those voices on a global stage,” says Maya Patel, Head of Strategy and Innovation at Renegade Music.
A New Era for Music Business Models
The traditional major label model — often associated with restrictive contracts and lack of transparency — is losing relevance with the rise of DIY distribution. But many artists still struggle to navigate the growing complexity of the modern music landscape. Renegade Music fills that void with a new business model that blends freedom with expert guidance.
Unlike many management or label contracts, Renegade operates on a non-exclusive, service-based structure. Artists maintain full ownership of their masters and creative control, while accessing professional-grade support tailored to their goals.
“It’s like having a label team without being owned by a label,” explains Ryder. “Artists choose the services they need, when they need them. We’re here to collaborate, not control.”
The Creative Home in Shoreditch
Renegade Music’s location in Shoreditch’s iconic Tea Building, home to Soho Works, positions the company at the intersection of tech innovation, fashion, and underground culture. This has enabled the brand to create a collaborative workspace where musicians, producers, marketers, and creatives of all kinds can interact and grow.
Inside, the space features:
- Acoustic-optimized recording booths
- Multimedia editing suites
- Co-working areas for content creators
- Event space for showcases, panels, and industry mixers
“Our physical environment mirrors our philosophy,” says Patel. “We believe in open access, shared creativity, and the kind of community that elevates everyone.”
The Road Ahead
Looking forward, Renegade Music has plans to expand its platform further through partnerships with brands, sync licensing agencies, live venues, and even AI-powered analytics tools. A mobile app is also in development to allow artists to manage their campaigns, book studio time, and get real-time performance feedback.
To celebrate the platform’s launch, Renegade Music is hosting an invite-only launch showcase event this August, featuring performances from a curated selection of their most exciting emerging artists. Industry professionals, tastemakers, and press will gather at the Shoreditch venue to experience the future of artist development.
