Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time. In this instance, the place was at the 2012 Indian Ocean Music Market (IOMMA), the second to be held at La Captionaire, Sainte Pierre, Reunion Island. 



As a guest of the market and the 2012 Sakifo Music Festival, the CEO of KISSmyBLAKartists (KMBA), Sam Cook met with MaronRProductions Director Luciano Mabrouk to discuss the potential representation of the act within Australia and New Zealand. 



Sam Cook had previously programmed Simangavole in the 2011/2012 Woodford Folk Festival featuring the Dreaming, where the act had been a festival favourite, amongst both audiences and artists alike. Having witnessed the power of the musical style known as Maloya within the Australian market, Sam had no hesitation in declaring a keen interest in the act. 



Given the ethical approach of KISSmyBLAKartists, the first conversation was with the artists themselves, to solicit their interest in being represented by KMBA. With their blessing, conversations continued between Luciano and Sam to establish goals and objectives for the act within this territory. 
 

From this a customised management plan was produced, which looked at establishing and building a presence for both Simangavole and the music of Maloya within Australia and New Zealand, via festival performances. 

​

We hope to announce the first tour of Simangavole to Australia and New Zealand in the near future, so you too, can experience the power of Maloya.
 

Indigenous Artists within Australia and abroad are seldom represented by Indigenous owned and operated labels. Whilst there are some fledgling labels around, these primarily focus exclusively on specific musical genres such as Hip Hop. 



Honey Ant Music Group, is an all encompassing record label and publisher that seeks to present a true reflection of the many and varied styles of Indigenous talent within Australia. It also seeks to provide representation for international Indigenous artists to create a consolidated opportunity for better engagement into mainstream music globally. 



The days of categorising Indigenous music exclusively within the  world music genre are limited as artists represented are a mix of world-class roots, soul, rock, Hip Hop, acoustic electronica and everything in between. 



Honey Ant Music Group have joined forces with Oxygen Music Group (O.M.G) to align to their direct links to the biggest labels worldwide. This means that access and opportunity to major distribution and consideration in aspects of publishing that have often been unattainable for independent Indigenous artists are now able to be realised via a strong peer network and access portal.



Honey Ant Music Group is 100% Indigenous owned, and with this comes specialist knowledge in the genres and regional styles that comprise the sector. 



The name reflects embodies the characteristics of the Honey Ant, in its strength, sophistication and connection to country, culture and community.
