testimonials: what they are saying about us
“Art is an amazing friend, and partner on projects. He is so smart, honest, and knows his stuff.”
Sherry C., Artist Manager, Nashville
“I’ve worked with Art Ward on my own projects and numerous other artist’s recordings. As a producer, he has always kept me “on track” so my recording comes out strong and on budget. He has gone that “extra mile” for me more times than I can count.”
Lee G., Nashville
“Anyone can make a record, but Art Ward knows what makes a record GREAT. His ability to pick songs and offer the right production ideas is unmatched.”
Ryan H., Ohio
“Working with Art Ward has been a pleasure. His many years of experience in the music business, his creativity in the studio, and his forward thinking mindset of where and how the music business is changing sets him apart from other Managers and Music Producers.
Art is a straight shooter and will give you honest feedback about all aspects of the music business, but also appreciates and works with your own personal desired direction as an artist.
With so many artists these days taking different avenues to pursue success in the music business, Art has helped me to “keep my blinders on” and focus on my own artistry while not getting caught up in what every other artist is doing.”
Kyle M., Nashville
“Art Ward has a great ear! I was amazed at how my songs went from a rough take on a phone to a fully produced song that sounded extremely well produced. All of my songs sounded current and the ideas Art had really brought out the full potential of every song. I’d want no one else producing me!”
Matt M., Nashville
“People that pay attention to fine details that many overlook. Able to get the most out of your music. Visionary, perceptive, flexible, and creative are all words I would use to describe these guys. Humble folks that are easy to work with, and that realize a great product is the recipe for reciprocal success.”
Jeff B., Artist Manager, Nashville
“I have been working with Art Ward for 5+ years. He is my Producer and Publisher, but he is much more. Art has become a friend and has helped me in my career greatly.
I can call Art with a question anytime and he will have the answer. His knowledge of the music business and everything related is extensive. He has always gone above and beyond the scope of what I expected.
Art has produced two EP’s for me. The musicians, engineers, and recording studios he puts together for our recording sessions are of the highest caliber. That alone is worth Art’s weight in gold. I feel blessed to have him on my team and look forward to working with Century Music Group on many more future projects.”
David A., Montana
“For many years now, I have relied on my producer, mentor, and friend, Art Ward of Century Music Group to guide me through the ups and downs of musical life. He has consistently brought together the finest session players available to bring my songs to life.”
John K., Florida
“You always have the best people around. Not only great players, which is cool, but great people, which is essential.”
Steff M., Nashville
“Industry connections, experience, and friendship are the words I would use to describe my experience working with Art Ward. He helped me define my vision and knew what it would take to get me moving in that direction. In addition to career advice, I’ve worked with Art on three recording projects. He brought the right talent to the studio and we created a finished product that my fans have appreciated. One of those songs charted #1 and four songs reached the Top 6 on Christian Radio. Art helped me. I’m confident he can help anyone.”
Jeff A., Iowa
