The Story of Extrinsic Music Group (EMG)

Every company has a story. Ours started with a simple question: “Why isn’t the music industry more accessible?”

It was a question that kept coming up. And it was a question that we couldn’t ignore.

In a world where independent artists should be able to share their music freely, the industry was filled with barriers—exorbitant fees, confusing contracts, and a constant struggle for visibility. At EMG, we felt it was time to do something about it.

A Founder’s Vision: The Drive to Make a Change

In December 2023, Justin, our founder, found himself frustrated by the traditional systems in place. He knew firsthand how difficult it could be for emerging artists to navigate the music industry. He understood the challenges artists face—whether it was getting heard amidst the noise, dealing with restrictive contracts, or figuring out the best distribution options that didn’t drain their bank accounts. As an artist and entrepreneur, he knew something had to change.

And so, EMG was born.

From the very beginning, Justin had a vision that went beyond the ordinary. He wasn’t interested in creating just another music distribution company. Instead, he wanted to revolutionize the way artists interact with the industry. He wanted to offer something more than just a platform—he wanted to give artists the freedom to distribute their music, on their terms, without hidden fees or unfair contracts. The goal was clear: to make music distribution accessible to everyone.

With this mission in mind, EMG became a company built on one simple but powerful idea: No artist should ever have to feel like they’re being taken advantage of to pursue their passion.

For the Artist: Empowerment and Trust Above All Else

As an independent artist, your journey can feel like you’re constantly fighting an uphill battle. From struggling to get your music heard, to dealing with the complexities of streaming platforms, to feeling like you’re constantly at the mercy of someone else’s contract—it’s easy to get discouraged.

But at EMG, we see things differently. We don’t believe in contracts that tie you down. Instead, we believe in building a relationship based on trust, clarity, and mutual respect. We believe that the best partnerships are not ones built on legal papers and complicated terms, but on shared goals and respect for each other’s work.

With EMG, artists are not just clients—they’re partners. We offer a human-centered approach where each artist is given the personal care and attention they deserve. We work with you every step of the way, helping you navigate the complexities of music distribution while ensuring that your voice is always heard.

In a world where creativity is often stifled by restrictive contracts and financial pressure, we stand for something different. We say no to contracts and instead rely on trust—trust that each side is working toward the same goal: to help you succeed.

Whether you’re releasing your first single or launching your fifth album, we are there to support you. You can count on us for honest advice, strategic guidance, and unwavering support. We’ll help you get your music on all the right platforms, and we’ll ensure you maintain complete creative freedom, because we understand what it means to be an artist.

Our Approach: The Exlea Model—Freedom and Support in One

EMG’s foundation is built on a core principle: freedom with support. And that’s where our Quea Model comes in. It’s our innovative approach that allows us to offer the best of both worlds to our artists—the freedom of being independent and the support of a professional label.

Like a Label:
• We provide expert guidance on marketing, branding, and promotion.
• We help you grow as an artist, reach new fans, and connect with key industry players.
• Our team is here to help you make your mark in the music world.

Like a Distributor:
• We give you the freedom to control your music.
• We don’t own your tracks, we don’t take a percentage of your royalties, and we don’t lock you into any long-term contracts.
• You keep 90% of your earnings because we believe that your success should be yours to own, not ours to profit from.

At EMG, we provide distribution services that reach all the major platforms—Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and more. But we also offer more than just a service. We give you the freedom to decide what works best for you as an artist. No pressure, no hidden clauses—just your music reaching the world, with complete transparency every step of the way.

Looking to the Future: A Cleaner, Fairer Music Industry

We know that the music industry is far from perfect, but we’re working every day to make it better. By 2026, we envision a world where artists no longer have to compromise their integrity just to get their music out there. Where independent musicians can thrive on their own terms, without having to sign away their future or pay unfair fees.

Our vision is to build a cleaner, fairer music industry that values authenticity and creativity over profit margins and corporate control. A place where artists are empowered to create, distribute, and build a career on their own terms—and are never left in the dark about how things work.

We want to be a part of the change, not just a bystander. EMG is committed to providing opportunities, tools, and resources for emerging artists, and we’re constantly evolving to meet the needs of today’s music landscape. The future is bright, and we’re excited to be a part of it.
