BLOCS is a new model new music company. BLOCS is pan-Wales, with bases in Cardiff, Carmarthen, Swansea and Wrexham, and working with artists across the areas of management, live, and releases, with each working relationship tailored to meet the particular needs of each artist project.
We aim to ensure more sustainable careers for those wishing to work in music in Wales.
