Independent,
But Never Alone

“Sungate has been pivotal in my development as an artist. Working with Mari and team has given me a foundational understanding of turning my "passion" into something that's concrete and sustainable. They are absolute pro's.

Allen Green, Producer/ Beatmaker

“Sungate showed me the doors to where the audience lives aren’t locked anymore. They know the road, and they’ll point you down it. After that, it’s on you. You bring the truth, the songs, the joy the scars, and with Sungate, your music can find its way into the world. There’s never been a better time to be an artist.”

Steve Borne, Songwriter/ ProTools
