Driven by a passion for music on every conceivable level, Triple M Entertainment founder Martin Myers has been living his dream through his myriad of Local and International Clients for 27 extraordinary years. From eventing, sound and lighting production – through to talent management, PR and Publicity, Myers has seen and done it all! Today, Triple M Entertainment, known affectionately as Triple
M, offers entertainment solutions by building relationships that extend way and beyond any brief. By example, Triple M’s longest standing client, Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse, joined Myers after a chance meeting at a show at Greenpoint Stadium, way back in 1985. “He was the first person I spoke to,” Myers recalls. “At that point I was merely a fan of his music”. Since then the two have travelled all over the world and effected positive change at every opportunity. From that night on, Triple M has been – (and still is!) – a living, breathing business that quickly started attracting a diverse and dynamic range of Clients. The launch of mobile discos delivered both a professional and tailor-made playlist for the Clients and included the conceptualisation, set build and running of upmarket parties across the country. The South African music industry also got wind of Triple M’s growing influence and conscripted Myers to manage all Public Relation aspects of both theirLocal and International release schedules for BMG and then later Sony Music. For 17 years, Myers’ unwavering attention to detail and professionalism made him an indispensible favourite and must-have expert for the global brand in the Western Cape. With a wealth of music knowledge and clear ability, the Company, with Myers’ direction, has and continues to work with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry such as – Soweto String Quartet, Vusi Mahlasela, Lira, Seether, John Legend, Pink!, N’Sync, Lisa Stansfield, Natasha Bedingfield, Freshly Ground and Goldfish – artists and bands that have experienced, and benefited from his commitment to delivering only the very best. The South African fashion industry is another area where Triple M has effected change by delivering a variety of highly personalised services. In 2007,Myers travelled to Paris Fashion Week as Gavin Rajah’s personal music manager, a privilege he was awarded after years of working with both Rajah and fashion producer Mary Reynolds “I have always made it my business to understand the business I’m in”, Myers asserts. Understanding the brief of our Clients ensures Triple M oversees the implementation, liaison and planning of the Event from conceptualisation through to successful ex*****on. Triple M’s hands-on approach to all they do is what separates them from any other out there. Recently Triple M welcomed Change Management Specialist, Razia Myers, to the fold – an inclusion that swells the collective corporate and commercial business knowledge and expertise of the business to an impressive 42 years. From concept pitch, to playing out the after party, Triple M not only works to a brief, but also looks to grow each event into a unique experience. Triple M is also the company responsible for the successful launch of South Africa’s first, and only, independent annual music conference, Music Exchange, launched in 2009, and already in its third year. The 2012 three-day conference of this country’s biggest and most influential names in the musicindustry converge to share and debate the state of play – all with a view to influence the future of music in all its many facets. Past guest speakers include a host of highly respected Local and International speakers on board including Charles Goldstuck, the President and Chief Executive Officer ofTouchTunes Interactive Networks, and formerly the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Bertelsmann Music Group (U.S.), a division of Sony Music Entertainment, one of the world’s leading music companies. This year(?) “Nick” Motsatse, the Chief Executive Officer of the Southern African Music Rights Organisation, Limited by Guarantee (SAMRO), Charles Goldstuck and others responded to Myers invitation without hesitation and imparted their valuable knowledge enthusiastically. If there’s a reason to congregate, Triple M will not only justify the idea, but turn each and every function or event, big or small, into something simply exceptional.
