Answer 2

My experience with them leads me to believe they are a total scam! They used to be "Baldwin Entertainment." Google that name and take a look! I dealt with them firsthand!


Another answer
A complete scam, they tell you your songs are good and then promise a record deal, and they tell you, you need to record with them. They make you pay and cant follow up with the deal.
do not deal with these people.


From The company

ANYONE THAT HAS WORKED WITH US OVER OUR 12 YEAR HISTORY WHICH INCIDENTALLY INCLUDES NOT A SINGLE COMPLAINT AT THE BBB KNOWS THAT WE DO NOT, CAN NOT AND WOULD NEVER PROMISE ANYONE A RECORD DEAL. IF ANYONE EVER FROM OUR STAFF OR AFFILIATES FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY "PROMISES" A RECORD DEAL, WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. CALL OUR MAIN OFFICE IN NASHVILLE AT 615.340.9326 AND THAT PERSON OR PERSON (S) WILL BE DEALT WITH.

IN TERMS OF BALDWIN ENTERTAINMENT IT IS QUITE COMMON IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR EXECUTIVES AND STAFFS TO PLAY "MUSICAL CHAIRS" PARDON THE PUN. WHEN UNIVERSAL RECORDS NASHVILLE A FEW YEARS AGO BROUGHT IN A NEW PRESIDENT ABOUT 70% OF THE STAFF WAS LET GO, AND GUESS WHAT????? THEY ENDED UP AT VARIOUS COMPANIES DOING SIMILAR THINGS IN THE BUSINESS. THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS FULL OF MERGES, ACQUISITIONS AND CONSOLIDATIONS.

WE WISH IT WAS MORE STABLE LIKE SAY THE "AUTO INDUSTRY" BUT IT'S NOT. NORMALLY WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE CHATTER BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE REALIZE THAT IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A COMPANY, THEY WOULD TAKE IT TO COURT OR THE BBB BUT SINCE THERE ISN'T A LOT OF THIS KIND OF SLANDER ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB REGARDING TYLER MUSIC, WE FELT IN NECESSARY TO ANSWER THIS ONE. ANYONE WHO IS SERIOUS ABOUT WORKING WITH US OR ANY FIRM IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY SHOULD ASK FOR A COUPLE OF THINGS AND NOT RELY ON THE ANONYMOUS COMPLAINANT. ASK FOR REFERENCES; BOTH ARTIST AND LABELS, HEAR THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT, VISIT THEIR OFFICES IF POSSIBLE AND USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT. IF ANYONE ASKED US FOR ANY OF THESE THINGS, WE WOULD PROVIDE THEM WITHIN REASON.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY AND GOD BLESS!
THE TYLER MUSIC GROUP
