Martin Whiteman
With a background in the music industry, Martin brings his professional knowledge to direct somewhere records towards his goal of creating a 'self-sustaining label' that acts as a 'springboard for emerging artists to go on to do bigger and better things'. Martin is a recording engineer on the label and a key co-ordinator of our project. He loves the satisfaction of hearing a rough diamond at the A&R stage turn into a great mix and hearing all our hard work pay off.
Mike Heaps
Mike is a multi-instrumentalist and qualified Music Educator (CET/AET/DET), bringing together a lifelong passion for music and many years of songwriting and performing experience to oversee somewhere records. He shares his colleagues' desire to see somewhere records create a community for all kinds of musicians to do what they love professionally.
Charlotte Carpenter
Charlotte Carpenter is the perfect embodiment of independence; out there, doing it on her own. This isn't some 'strong woman’ cliché, this is a nominative determinism; place a piece of wood in her hand and she will use it to craft something of value to the world around her. Charlotte brings a decades worth of knowledge and experience of what it takes to be an artist in the modern music industry including songwriting, self-booking tours, festivals and social media marketing.
