Midnight Bannock

Baked Loud.

Midnight Bannock is built for artists who want to move through the music industry on their own terms.

We offer creative direction, career development, and industry guidance - the kind that helps artists grow and build careers that are honest, self-defined, and rooted in community, collaboration, and storytelling.

At our core, we believe success should feel good, look different for everyone, and come with support that goes beyond transactional services. We exist to uplift talent, re-imagine “making it”, and build a music industry that reflects the power of identity, curiosity, and connection.
