Most independent artists don’t struggle because of talent.
They struggle because decisions are made without structure, timing, or a clear strategy.
We exist to close that gap.
Everything we do is designed to support long-term momentum, not one-off wins.
We work closely, selectively, and with intent.
That means:
We don’t sell guarantees - because real careers aren’t predictable. We build foundations that give artists the best chance of compounding progress.
Blinding Talent is not a label.
You retain:
Our role is to advise, guide, and execute where appropriate - not to take control of your work.
We work with independent artists who:
We don’t work at scale, and we don’t try to be everything to everyone.
We work with a small number of artists at a time so we can stay hands-on, thoughtful, and effective.
That’s why many of our services are application-only - and why we’re upfront about fit.
Blinding Talent was founded by Mark Adams (ex C4/Bauer/EMAP) to give independent artists access to the kind of strategic thinking typically reserved for major-label environments - without the trade-offs that usually come with it.
With over three decades of experience across artist development, release strategy, and campaign planning, the founder has worked inside the realities of how the modern music industry actually operates: how platforms respond, how momentum is built, and where most artists go wrong.
The focus has never been hype or volume. It’s been about helping artists make better decisions - at the right time - with long-term outcomes in mind.
That perspective shapes everything at Blinding Talent: clear strategy, honest feedback, and systems designed to compound rather than reset.
