The people behind TuneTribe have launched a new consultancy service offering industry advice to artist managers, content owners and emerging artists, ranging from specific advice on certain aspects of an artist's work, to full career planning.

Among the industry experts affiliated to the new service, called Artising Artist, are radio plugger Ron McCreight, A&R man Joel De'ath, former Gronland Records MD Rene Renner, business manager Thomas St John, former Gut Records MD Steve Tandy, [PIAS] sync head Jemma Skidmore and the guys at music industry law firm Collins Long. The operation is headed up by artist manager Meredith Cork (who has worked with the likes of Garbage, Jimmy Miller, Dot Allison and Marcella Detroit) and former Arista Records US executive Lisa DeLuca.

Commenting on the new company, Cork told CMU: "The opportunities that are currently being created by changes within the music industry are enormous. For managers and repertoire owners, Arising Artist can advise both on content and projects and roll out full campaigns without all of the red tape associated with traditional ways of doing business. For emerging talent, Arising Artist provides an affordable way of demystifying the inner-workings of the industry, empowering the artist while also independently advising on their music, live show, digital presence and so on".
