8ball Music focuses on building artist careers and music brands within all possible traditional and new business models. Activities start from negotiating artist contracts, monetizing our intellectual properties and constantly finding new ways of doing business in a rapidly changing environment. The main goal is to develop new opportunities and be creative and effective in implementing these. 8ball Music was the first to offer real time the full version downloads of The Voice-series for instance, which resulted in 9 #1-hit singles of various contestants in a TV-talent show. This was never done before, worldwide. Nowadays, these 'souvenir sales' are done in more than 50 countries and have set a new standard.Furthermore 8ball Music is very active in building commercial bridges between Music brands and other parties. These efforts resulted in major collaborations with our artists and companies like Vodafone, Weight Watchers, KFC, Brand Loyalty etc. 8ball Music is represented in various music boards, making sure we are on the front row when it comes to negotiate with new music startups and always trying to be ahead of competition in spotting new opportunities and threats. In 2013 the company has divided it's current activities in 4 different labels: 8ball Music, 8ball TV, Powerhouse Music (june 2013) and Dino Music (july 2013). In November 2012 8ball Music opened it's own bookings agency: 8ball Bookings in conjunction with AT Productions. Furthermore the company has direct liaisons with one of Europe's biggest independent publishing companies Talpa Music.8ball Music is part of the Talpa Media Group which produces and owns formats like The Voice Of.., I Love My Country and The Winner Is... and upcoming next level reality format Utopia.

8ball Music is a Dutch pop record label that focuses on developing new artists. 8ball was founded in 2006, as a strategic joint venture between Talpa Music and Sony BMG International. Within their short periode of operations, the label became very succesful in the Netherlands with new artists such as Alain Clark (double platinum selling) and Leaf (most aired single 2007), Miss Montreal (#1 airplay, Lowlands, Zwarte Cross, Radio538 Alarmschijf) and Bertolf (3FM Megahit, Lowlands, Concert At Sea).In 2010 the label released new albums from their main artists and started working with A Silent Express. 2010 was also the year of The voice of Holland, the new Talpa-produced smash hit talentshow on Dutch television. 8ball Music is the official recordings partner of the show, resulting in 3 consecutive #1 hits for Ben Saunders, who would eventually win the show. 8ball Music was also responsible for the creation and marketing of a The Voice of Holland-album and 4 sold out concerts in Amsterdam based Heineken Music Hall. Since 2009 the music company started its own artist management branch which was extented in 2010 with 8ball Music's own bookings agency. All of this was done to gain and keep control on all activities concerning our artists, also resulting in a healthy growth of the company.In 2011 new artists like Yasmin, Lucy Iris and Key Largo will see the light of day. Furthermore activities with RTL's Telekids presentor Keet! -a true multi talent- will be intensified. And 8ball will present The Pioneers Of Love to the crowds, an alternative band from the north of the Netherlands. We also will release 3 albums with candidates from The voice of Holland: the amazing stories of Ben Saunders, Kim de Boer and Lenny Keylard will continue!

Global Music and Talent Agency (GMTA) holds the music and artist exploitation rights for Talpa’s international talent shows like The Voice. The role of the Business Development Director is to extend existing business (recorded music, touring etc.) with new global business opportunities. And do so in cooperation with the GMTA-team and the external stakeholders (artists, local record labels, TV-producers & broadcasters). The aim is to create succesful partnerships with major brands and individual Voice-artists in our key territories. There now are opportunities for existing branded partners from the TV-series to lengthen their engagement with the TV-show by endorsing a tour or an artist from the show. It is our responsibility to show this to our partners and try to be creative in making a genuine fit between the brand and the artist. Furthermore there are endless opportunities to create special products around the Talpa music brands on a global base and doing succesful business with these. There is a super strong focus on new technology and the impact of this on worldwide music consumption. This knowledge helps us to define and seize the newest business opportunities for our global music brands, for now and in the future.
