Who We Are
Built Different.
31 Empire Inc started with a simple belief — that the right artist, with the right team behind them, can change culture. We built this company from the ground up in Atlanta, and we're just getting started.
Our Story
From Atlanta to Everywhere
31 Empire Inc was founded on the belief that independent doesn't mean small. We built this company from scratch in Atlanta — no major label backing, no shortcuts — just a relentless commitment to our artists and a vision for what music management should look like.
What started as a tight-knit team working out of a single studio has grown into one of the most talked-about independent operations in the industry. We've placed artists on major stages, secured brand deals with household names, and built careers that last.
We don't just manage artists. We build movements. Every decision we make is rooted in long-term vision — protecting our artists' creative integrity while positioning them for generational success.
Our Vision
The Standard We Set
Artist First
Every deal, every decision, every move starts with what's best for the artist. Full stop.
Independent Power
We prove every day that you don't need a major to build a major career. Independence is our advantage.
Culture Over Commerce
We chase impact before income. When the culture moves, the money follows.
Long Game
We're not here for a moment. We're building legacies that outlast trends and industry cycles.
