ABOUT MDM RECORDINGS INC.: Founded in 2008, MDM Recordings Inc. (MDM) has evolved from one man’s passionate vision, to an award winning, global operation with presence throughout North America and Australia. Crowned the 2015 and 2016 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA®) Award™ Record Company of the Year, the Toronto based music label, distributor and artist management company MDM was created by Mike Denney. Denney, the 2014 and 2015 CCMA® Award™ Record Person of the Year, founded the organization fuelled by a personal drive to put the music back in the music business. To achieve this he strategically built a devout, likeminded group of leading industry professionals; a team affectionately referred to as the “road family”. Award winning musician/producer Mitch Merrett joined in partnership with MDM in the fall of 2009, bringing his vast creative, musical and business acumen to expand organizational activity and talent roster. In strategic complement to expand the scope of offerings to represented artists, in 2012 MDM partnered with CCS Rights Management to launch a new music publishing business, Little Red Bungalow.
