Emerging from the dazzle of neon lights and the infectious rhythm of electronic beats in Miami, EDM sensation Kara Major is taking 2023 by storm. Her recent track “Everything Works Out,” fuses soulful lyrics with pulsating melodies. Featured in publications like SweetnSour Magazine and Earmilk, its success spoke volumes to her core fanbase’s zeal and the weight of the message she bore.
Major’s previous professional settings— a mix of offices, board rooms and sports teams— plays a pivotal role in her approach to music. Writing songs and constructing beats has been second nature to her for as long as she can remember. Major used music as an outlet to combat the day’s monotony and satisfy her urge to release her pent-up emotions. Drawing on both celebratory moments and heart-wrenching experiences, Major’s music offers not just entertainment but comfort and hope for her fans. With a sizzling new music video that dips in the abstract, Kara’s larger than life message is reaching listeners across the country.

Kara Major’s latest single “Glow”
Her latest track, “Glow,” is the third in her homage to mantric principles and has garnered significant attention from both media and brands. The single piqued the interest of GLOW Beverages, an electrolyte beverage company that is quickly gaining popularity. Partly owned by Kylie Jenner and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, the drink is a cult favorite for clubgoers and a guilty pleasure for techies. Now, Major is a member of a group of key influencers who are partnering with GLOW to connect with consumers, hooking onto both Kara’s song and the drink’s radiating personality.
Challenges and adversities have been part and parcel of Major’s journey. Every artist faces hurdles, but it’s these challenges that give music an edge and a rawness that listeners connect with deeply. Major’s ethos, which she shared with POP CULTUR, is clear: “Believe it to see it. Knowledge is the precursor to experience. Keep reaching for new information; new inspiration and new futures will find you.”

Beyond her music, Major has a greater vision. She is eager to collaborate with giants in the self-care and motivational speaking communities like Esther Hicks and Tony Robbins. What stands out is her belief that everyone has their own “inner music.” Major’s message to her fans and the world at large is rooted in the philosophy of finding one’s inner light and letting it “glow.”
With her unique blend of musical talent, introspective lyrics and a vision that transcends the boundaries of EDM, Kara Major is making her place in the industry and setting her Major message in motion.

Artists have been finding their wings with the company since its first office opened in Montreal, Canada. Now the team works with acts from the three major labels as well as hundreds of emerging artists, shaping their stories and images they need to make their mark in the industry.
One of their many success stories is Colin Brittain, who went from being a hobbyist producer to supporting artists in their journey to the Billboard charts. After a brief exposure campaign and strategic collaboration with MPT Agency, the young producer built a presence that attracted collaborators including Papa Roach, 5 Seconds of Summer, and the Jonas Brothers.
This year has been defined by the explosion of non-western music markets. With a team of 20 across four continents, Keuhnelian and Dotcom have their eyes set on the next billion streamers. In 2023, MPT Agency worked with Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment to ignite careers in Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Japan, Ukraine, Korea, and Nigeria. These efforts generated over 1.2 billion views a month and resulted in three major label signings. Most notably, MPT Agency recently supported K-pop group FIFTY FIFTY in its inclusion on the Barbie soundtrack. Keuhnelian and Dotcom’s efforts have proven that the music business is a global affair and they are leading the new trend.

As the music business continues to expand globally, consumption habits are evolving with it. MPT Agency’s hybrid approach combines exposure marketing and career development to help artists develop sustainable careers in a modern music landscape that prizes virality. “Premium streamers are a niche of the past,” Keuhnelian explains, “Today the ultimate engaged fans are the communities, the listening groups, tastemakers, influencers, bloggers, and readers; they hold the balance of power in a song’s viral uptake. When it comes to igniting a career overseas, harnessing the power of these communities can build overnight empires if the sound is right.” MPT Agency approaches fanbase creation and growth by integrating artist branding with niche communities everywhere, from the traditional social media landscape of YouTube Shorts, TikTok & Instagram, to the self-propelled communities on Reddit, Discord and key music blogs.
The globalization of the music industry has been accelerated by technology, a fact that MPT Agency not only recognizes but incorporates into its mission. Dotcom and Keuhnelian further committed themselves to being ahead of the curve when they launched the Virtual Publicist service, which leverages AI, databases and more to streamline publicity campaign management and outreach. This unique platform gives users affordable and accessible support as they navigate their careers.

“Artists and labels need to partner with us fully, or their tracks will miss the beat,” says Dotcom. “While leveraging their streaming presence to conquer global markets is just the beginning, it is the hands-on development we give debut artists that allows them to navigate those once-in-a-lifetime situations. Meeting managers, executives, and publishers—this is what the artist needs to do with the presence and exposure we are giving them. We build the foundations for what will be a chart-topping career and make sure their network is hooked on the message.”
In an ever-shifting market, Anto Dotcom and Raffi Keuhnelian have reimagined the path artists must follow to reach their dreams. If you are primed for the spotlight, look to leverage Keuhnelian and Dotcom’s marketing expertise by visiting MPT Agency and Virtual Publicist.
