Only The Brave Indigenous Music Consultants
Shawn Michael Perry & his wife Belinda (owners of OTB – ATC) noticed there was a lack of representation for Native American artists all across the board. From concert logistics, artist management to music distribution (for Native Americans) in film, television, and all areas of the arts. All That Culture has been approached by numerous entities to consider taking on this mission to help promote Native Americans along with their careers. With Shawn’s personal experience and desire to help his peoples, it was an honor to take on this task! With Belinda by his side, this team has successfully signed on new clients and has moved forward in a direction that has taken OTB to new heights!
Our sister company “All That Culture Music of The Americas” specializes in selling musical instruments wholesale for education and instruction in North and South America. As members of the “National Association of Music Merchants”. We at OTB noticed many Fortune 500 music distribution companies and their manufactures had little or no relationships with indigenous music artists. We wanted to make a change! We as a company can outfit any tribal casinos/event center, school, tribal complex, and hospitals with all your music media needs!
