From a story marked by personal trials and triumphs, Michael Stover has not only emerged as a beacon of hope but has also shaped a music empire that propels indie artists to major exposure. Founded in 2010, MTS Management Group has become a pivotal platform where talent meets opportunity, and where the indie spirit finds its major break.
Michael Stover’s journey in the music industry spans over three decades, characterized by his unique blend of artistic and executive prowess. His diverse background—from a music retailer and DJ to a Billboard-winning songwriter and a chart-topping producer—has equipped him with the invaluable skills to manage, promote, and elevate artists across the globe. Through MTS Management Group and MTS Records, he has released over 100 Top 40 singles on the New Music Weekly country chart and achieved multiple top positions on iTunes and Billboard charts.
But Michael’s path wasn’t always lined with accolades and accomplishments. His earlier years were clouded by addiction, a struggle he has since turned into a story of redemption, now celebrating over 15 years of sobriety. This transformation, rooted in his faith in Jesus Christ and a resilient will to change, fueled his passion to support and uplift others. Michael’s personal triumph over addiction has been a testament to his belief that “nothing is impossible” and that every weakness can be turned into strength.
Under his leadership, MTS Management Group has not only been a career launchpad but also a place of recovery and empowerment for artists navigating the complexities of the music industry with limited budgets. By leveraging a “strength in numbers” approach, Michael has maximized limited resources, providing artists the shared support needed to make significant impacts in their careers.
Recognition of his groundbreaking work includes several prestigious awards such as the Josie Music Awards Manager of the Year in 2015 and 2016, and more recently, the Publicist of the Year at the 2023 Prayze Factor Awards. These accolades underscore his exceptional capability in artist management and music promotion.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Michael is a devoted husband and father, roles that he cherishes deeply and that keep him grounded. Looking ahead, Michael envisions walking the red carpet at the Grammys with his artists, not just as their manager but as their mentor and friend who has walked the tough roads with them.
MTS Management Group continues to be more than just a company—it’s a movement. As Michael Stover writes the next chapters of this incredible story, he remains committed to the artists, to the music, and to the message that faith and determination can rewrite destinies.
