For Artists & Musicians
Your Music. Your Masters.
Our Machine Behind You.
Management, production, distribution, press, playlists, branding, touring — everything a label does, without the label owning you. Independent artists keep 100% of their royalties and get a 25-year veteran guiding every move.

- Production, mixing, mastering & distribution
- Press, playlists, radio & PR campaigns
- Brand deals, merch & royalty collection
For Models

Booked.
Modeling should never mean navigating predators and bad contracts alone. Personal guidance, portfolio development, agency placement, and bookings — with contract review and safety education on every step. The protection every model deserves.
- Management & agency placement
- Portfolio, comp cards & digitals
- Runway & posing coaching
- Contract review & safety guidance

The Man Behind the Machine
Ruben Burgos aka Mr. Dope Chef
Philanthropist. Entrepreneur. Pioneer and architect of the modern independent music movement. Since 1998, Ruben has guided artists, musicians, and models through an industry full of snakes — personally, honestly, and with the most advanced digital technology at their service.
His philosophy is simple: never let happen to his clients what the industry tried to do to him.
“I came up in an industry of snakes. I built this company so no artist or model I work with ever has to.”
