Blinding Talent, a leading Artist Development and Music Marketing company now in its fifth year, has gone from strength to strength under the leadership of UK music industry veteran and brand specialist Mark Adams.
With over 27 years of music industry experience, here are just a few of the music brands that Mark Adams, CEO and founder of Blinding Talent, has worked with directly.
Mark Adams began his career in the music industry as a music programmer for the famous UK music TV network The Box. After launching iconic music TV brands including Q, Kerrang!, Kiss, Magic, Smash Hits, and The Hits, Mark later became Head of Music in 2005.
In 2006, national TV station Channel 4 acquired the network and rebranded The Hits to 4Music. During his tenure as Head of Music across Box/4Music (2005–2012), Mark played a key role in supporting and breaking major label talent including Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and many more.
Mark also worked in partnership with major labels to launch new talent, including Top 10 hits for Sony’s Neon Jungle project. Furthermore, he served as a judge on prestigious panels such as The BRIT Awards, Music Week Awards, Kerrang! Awards, and the BBC Sound poll.

Blinding Talent launched in June 2020 with a clear mission: to bring artists closer to the music industry through unrivalled one-to-one support, powerful promotion that makes an impact, and social media marketing that drives genuine fan growth.
Nearly five years on, our journey has been marked by collaborations with leading industry platforms including the Music Producers Guild Awards, AIM, BPI, Music Week, Women in Music Awards, Kerrang!, and The Great Escape.
Along the way, we’ve also supported artists in securing management and record label deals. Most recently, we launched a new music industry podcast, which has gained wide recognition and was even featured with a full-page spread in Music Week.
Today, we’re a dynamic team of established industry professionals and rising Gen-Z talent, working with artists worldwide and focusing on the core pillars of Artist Development, Social Media, PR, and Promotion.
We believe marketing should be both effective and ethical. Our approach stands on four principles:
The best results come from honest connection that respects both you and your audience.
Every artist is different, so every strategy is built from the ground up around you for lasting impact.
Every post, campaign, and promo is built to engage and grow genuine fan relationships, not just numbers.
With decades of industry expertise and fresh Gen-Z insight, we know how to move careers forward the right way.
