Dear Mr. Grainge,
Subject: Artist ‘Desko Martin’
I happen to be reaching out in regards of an underground rap artist (Desko Martin) I’ve been
working with over the last six months. He’s a great songwriter, performer, producer, and outside
of showing his rapping skills he’s a terrific photographer and video editor. His style of rap is
more than just street music but comes with a motivation message for people to make it out the
environment where they’re from.
Martin Hernandez other known as Desko Martin was born in Lansing, Michigan. Over the years
he has grown in various of ways during his underground works of pursuing his music career. His
unorthodox style of rap is a big representation of many artists throughout the mid-west area.
Majority of his creativity comes from producing, writing and his visuals, which he’s the
director/editor of most of his music videos that’s been release throughout the past four years. His
goal is to show the music industry and fans he is more than just a rap artist.
I discovered Desko Martin talent back in 2016 when he was conducting his production company
“11 Trak Entertainment” in Lansing, Michigan. I gained a friendship over the years as I seen him
eventually evolved into an artist and showing his dedication to his originality craft of rap/hip-
hop. I took interest in representing this artist while attending Full Sail University after learning
more knowledge in the music business. The reason I decided to work with him because he had
grown so much since the first time, I meet him plus his motivation on prospering further in his
rap career is what made me want to work with him. You can check out one his latest single and
3. music video “No Rules” on YouTube, Apple Music, Deezer, Pandora, Google Play, TikTok,
Spotify and many more music streaming services. Be free to check out his Spotify artist page
were you can listen to his last five projects and his latest single However It Go all on this music
streaming service. He also has a great line up of music videos on his YouTube channel that he’s
released over the past three years.
I truly think this artist (Desko Martin) would be a perfect fit for your publishing company, which
he believes Universal Music Publishing Group will be a perfect publishing company to handle
his royalties and get his music career to the next level. We are aware of your of the great artists
you contain on your roster from Adele, Ne-Yo, Alicia Keys, Post Malone, Quavo and many
more successful artists. Which we seen many of those artists career rise to stardom and we would
like to see if you were interested on bringing in something new for your company. Desko Martin
has a talent of making diverse music, which we are very confident you’ll enjoy listening to. I
believe the services you could do for him would be turning his underground music to the
industry level and networking him with better music sources such as A&Rs, producers, and
artists that can possibly land him a major or a distribution deal.
Sir Lucian Grainge is currently the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Music
Group. He has signed many of great artist from Jay-Z, Elton John, Katy Perry, Queen, Rihanna,
Amy Winehouse and many more artists. He has spent all of his career working in the music
industry but other than bringing new talent to UMG publishing company. Mr. Grainge also
played a big part of their business models and partnership on growing their company in many
successful ways. I happen to find all of this information from the Universal Music Group
website, which I was unable to locate a correct email for this executive.
We would be very pleased if we could eventually have a sit down with you or another
representative of the Universal Music Group Publishing Company. Our artist Desko Martin loves
traveling and would like to fly out to your headquarters in Santa Monica, California to learn
more about this company if you were interested. For any additional information be free to
contact us by email agkmanagementbooking@gmail.com or by phone (517)582-6535 to further
discuss anything containing this artist joining your wonderful publishing company. We truly
think your company is a great selection for his music and pathway to success of being a major
artist coming up for the new era of rap and hip-hop.
Thank you,
Antonio Ortiz
CEO of AGK Management
