MGM Distribution
MGM Distribution is the largest independent distributor of Australian music and music related merchandise. It was established in April 1998 by Sebastian Chase.
MGM Distribution was set up specifically as a distribution hub to service independent labels and artists. MGM Distribution is focused on a specific agenda – dealing with retail, promoting its releases to retail, ensuring that orders are filled correctly and dispatched expediently.
MGM is not a label and does not sign artists. As a distributor, MGM requires that the labels market their releases to the media to create demand that causes sell through at retail.
MGM Distribution is a major financial supporter of the Australian Music Prize and the JB Seed grant program, an arts grants fund established by John Butler in 2005.
