MTS Management Group and MTS Records, founded by award-winning songwriter, musician, and producer Michael Stover, proudly celebrate 15 transformative years of empowering independent musicians and achieving extraordinary success in the music industry.

Founded in 2010, MTS has become a trailblazer in the independent music market. Under Michael Stover’s leadership, MTS has amassed a legacy of excellence, releasing over 100 Top 40 New Music Weekly chart singles, including 15 #1 hits and 5 Billboard chart-topping singles (two of which reached the Top 10). Additionally, MTS has promoted 100+ Top 40 iTunes chart singles, including 60+ Top 5s and 40+ #1s. These achievements reflect MTS’s unwavering commitment to helping indie artists succeed on a global stage.

A Legacy Built on Passion and Perseverance

Michael Stover, a 30+ year veteran of the music industry and a graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, built MTS on the principles of faith, hard work, and resilience. As a former retail music manager, DJ, Billboard Magazine Contest-winning songwriter, and chart-topping producer, Michael’s journey to success has been nothing short of remarkable. His personal story of overcoming an 8-year addiction through faith in Christ has inspired not only his life but the trajectory of MTS Management Group.

“I am living proof that life gets better when we surrender to His purpose for us,” shares Stover. “MTS is a testament to God’s grace and the love and support of my family. I’m deeply humbled to celebrate 15 years of helping artists achieve their dreams.”

Global Reach and Industry Recognition

MTS Management Group has become a truly international entity, working with artists and events from the United States, Canada, UK, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Australia, and Sweden. Over the years, MTS has partnered with Grammy, Dove, and Juno Award winners and has consistentlybeen honored with accolades like:

2023 and 2024 Josie Music Awards Record Label of the Year

2023, 2024 Prayze Factor Awards Publicist of the Year

2022–2024 Independent Music Network Record Label of the Year

Michael himself has been recognized as Manager of the Year, Publicist of the Year, and a recipient of prestigious awards like the Hermes Creative Awards and dotComm Awards for marketing excellence.

Looking Ahead
