Supporting artists with creative freedom, allowing their vision to thrive.

Mantis Music Group is a boutique artist, producer and writer management company founded by Matthew Hinds and recently merged with Lane Smith of Whatever Music. With a full-service, hands-on approach, Mantis oversees and assists with all elements associated with creative direction, touring strategy and logistics, production, publishing, label deals and navigation and beyond, with support from some of the most highly respected experts in the industry.

With roots in LA and NY, Mantis prides itself on its global relationships and puts an emphasis on building artists to have a sustainable worldwide business. In a fast-paced and ever-evolving industry, Mantis thrives on finding the most authentic, unique, and strategic ways to build career artists who continue to push boundaries without allowing commercial success to cloud the ethos that established them. We do not take the opportunity to work with our artists lightly and are proud to work with the best and brightest acts in music today.
