Calling all artists and creatives

Your talent.
Our stage.

Bring us your talent and your idea. Mike Snell and the MSE creative team will shape it with you, from the first concept all the way to a world-class show reel. Then we put your act in front of the brands, galas and stadiums MSE produces for.

Artistry, directed.

This is where the magic is built. For Pro Light & Sound's ELEVATE, Mike Snell and the MSE creative team took an idea from first concept to a world-class stage, shaping every moment in the studio at MSE HQ.

Great performance is never an accident. It is choreography, music, styling and story working as one, and that is exactly how we build every act.

Build your act with us
Ways in

Three levels of creative direction.

Every level is shaped around your act. Detail and investment are shared privately at your consult.

By invitation

The MSE Launch Partnership.

We choose a small number of exceptional artists to invest in. MSE backs your production alongside you, and your act joins the MSE roster under an exclusive agreement. Partnerships are offered privately, following your consult.

Offered at MSE's discretion and subject to a signed agreement. Terms apply.
Who it's for

Performers with something to say.

Solo artists, duos and acts ready for a signature piece. Emerging or established, based in Melbourne or anywhere in the world: we work in person and online.

Questions

Good to know.

Who is this for?

Performers and creatives: solo artists, duos and acts who want a signature piece and a show reel that sells it. If you're planning an event and looking for entertainment, visit Mike Snell Entertainment instead.

How much does it cost?

Creative Direction is a paid, one-on-one service, and every concept is quoted to your brief. Your form answers give us a rough ballpark before the consult, and the full quote follows it.

Will MSE book me afterwards?

Once your reel is finished, we can present your act to MSE's clients and consider it for the MSE roster. Bookings depend on the right client and brief, so we can't promise work, but we'll put you in the room.

Do I need a finished idea?

No. A feeling, a song or a single image is enough to start.

Can you work with my existing music?

Yes. Send a link in the form and we'll tell you what it needs.

I'm not in Melbourne. Can we still work together?

Yes. The consult and planning can happen by video call, with studio time at MSE HQ in Melbourne or on location.

How long does it take?

It depends on the scale of the piece and your dates. We map out a timeline together at your consult.

What happens after I submit?

A producer reads every enquiry personally and replies within one business day. Approved concepts receive a private link to book a one-hour consult with Mike.

Your act. Directed.

Tell us what you're imagining. We'll take it from idea to world-class reel.
