About Century Music Group
For more than two decades, Century Music Group has worked with independent singer-songwriters to create meaningful records and support long-term careers.
Founded in 1999 by producer and industry veteran Art Ward, Century Music Group has grown into a boutique Nashville-based label and publishing company partnering with a selective roster of artists. Our focus is on developing music with depth, intention, and lasting value rather than chasing trends or short-term outcomes.
Century Music Group operates within a long-standing Nashville creative ecosystem of musicians, engineers, writers, and industry professionals whose individual experience spans the highest levels of the music industry. That depth of experience directly shapes the standards, workflow, and creative approach brought to every project we develop.
Our approach is collaborative and artist-focused. We combine Nashville-level production, thoughtful release strategy, and ongoing creative development for artists who are serious about their craft and prepared to approach their music professionally.
For select artists, relationships may expand to include publishing representation, branding guidance, and broader creative support throughout the release cycle. Every partnership is built on trust, clarity, and shared commitment — with opportunities growing over time as alignment and momentum are established.
