Roster & Partnerships

The artists we work with are serious about their careers.

So are we.

C Sharp Consulting works with a select roster of independent artists — providing hands-on, experience-driven guidance that most artists never get access to. We don’t take on every artist who comes our way. We take on the right ones.

Current Roster

The artists we represent

Providing direction and advice across A&R, branding, marketing, and live performance converges

Rob Mathes

Rob Mathes is one of the most accomplished musicians, arrangers, composers, and producers of his generation — the man Sting calls “a lion in the studio” and Bruce Springsteen’s “secret weapon.” His credits span from arranging for Ray Charles to Panic! At The Disco, George Michael & Elton John, Tony Bennett, Fall Out Boy, and even reaching a global audience with “Golden,” the Oscar and Grammy-winning anthem from K-Pop Demon Hunters. Rob’s YouTube channel, Straight-Up At The Power Station, captures top session musicians direct to drive with no fixes, punches or overdubs. C Sharp Consulting supports Rob’s career with strategic consulting across marketing, single-release strategy, and licensing while expanding the audience of one of music’s most gifted figures.

Gerey Johnson

Gerey Johnson is the guitarist you hire if you want the gig done right— a road-tested guitarist who’s shared stages and studios with Brian Culbertson, Richard Elliott, and Marcus Miller, Michael Manson, Lisa Stansfield, and serves as Musical Director for the Jazz Cruise and several other festivals. He spends so little time at home that his mail carrier has started asking if he still lives there, but when he does surface, it’s usually to remind everyone in the room that he’s funny and a way better guitar player than he lets on. Equal parts world-class sideman and, in general, just a good guy for a hang

Artists We Belive In

Our roster is small on purpose — before we take anyone on, they have to impress us as musicians first. We’re players ourselves, working in the worlds we know best: Jazz, R&B, and Pop/Rock. Meet that bar, and you get our full attention, our experience, and a partnership built musician to musician.

Work with us.

We work with a limited number of artists at any given time, so every client relationship gets our full attention and the full breadth of our experience.
