An ardent believer in "Reality TV" talent based shows; Bythwood's work with Simone Cowell's "SYCO/Sony Music Entertainment" recording artists and UK "X Factor" Winners, Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke helped to further solidify Musik Hause's artist developmental philosophy. Bythwood explains: "Many talented artist become Superstar icons because of phenomenal songs and a great team surrounding them." Talented singers are not ALWAYS great songwriters which is why our approach at Musik Hause is to operate within the framework of helping artist create or providing them with the possible music composition that helps them win and succeed.

Simply stated, we help deliver commercially viable product in line with label(s) needs while simultaneously and seamlessly maintaining artist integrity and creativity. All of this is done in pursuit of the primary goal of ultimately producing records that fans and music lovers will love and long appreciate while allowing labels to see a return on investment.
