More detailed Company information is coming soon.
MMI began life as Meer Music Ltd in 1996. It was founded by veteran songwriter and producer, Paul Sedkowski (Barcelona Olympics promos, Kimera, Prince Scandal, etc) together with partners John Coletta (ex-manager of Deep Purple, Whitesnake, etc), Derek Lawrence (producer Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash, Hot Chocolate, etc), and Dutch businessman, Peter van der Meer (in whose honor the company was named Meer Music!), and collaborators Rob Davis (guitarist Mud, Darts, songwriter and author of hits such as Fragma's "Toca's Miracle," Spiller Groovejet's "If This Ain't Love" or Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Outta My Head"), and songwriter and producer Andy Tumi (Sugababes, Fishbowl, Supafly, daFunk, Point Break).
The company focused on artist development, production and songwriting, developing music in a wide range of styles from dance to r&b to pop.
While all the partners remained close friends, it was decided in 2001 that the company should re-group. Paul carried on with the name Meer Music, for a while, until he met Mary Jane Trokel (highly successful Hollywood TV director, credits include Tonight Show, Entertainment Tonight, Solid Gold, etc) and singer/songwriter Laura Krier (now also known as "DJ Crier"). Together, they renamed the company to "Mere" Music, in order to somehow keep the name, but have a new name too! And because the company retained its vast international contacts, adding "International" was a mere afterthought. Besides, "MMI" sounded awfully close to another friendly little company we all know and love...
MMI resumed its production and artist development work, but also branched out into education, taking artist development to a logical extreme. For a while, MMI trained a whole "stable" of child-artists, sometimes with rather impressive results. MMI also expanded its activities into other areas such as radio and television, although the latter is still in development. MMI Records was founded in 2006 its first (limited) release being Laura's Nothing But Trouble album.
But all of the company's regular activities got overshadowed in 2006 by the rather unexpected success of the company's music radio show, Fame Games. It resulted in a ground-up re-think of its strategies as well as a new concept in Indie music entertainment, which is now constantly being fine-tuned and developed, leading up to "Phase-2"
