Hi, I'm Michael Coltham, the founder and Creative Director of Black Lab Music Ltd.
Our Purpose:
At Black Lab Music, we believe sound is one of the most powerful yet underused tools in business. In just milliseconds, music shapes perception - influencing how your brand is remembered, trusted, and valued.
Our mission is to help companies, brands, and leaders harness the emotive power of music for business, transforming it from background noise into a strategic asset.
We specialise in audio branding and the creation of bespoke sonic identities that reflect your values, resonate with your audience, and strengthen your market position. From videos and podcasts to events and customer touchpoints, we ensure your brand doesn’t just look professional - it sounds professional.
The result is a consistent, memorable voice that amplifies your brand promise and drives engagement.


Your Success:
Our clients understand that sound is not decoration - it’s differentiation. They know that to stand out in competitive markets, they must be distinctive, trusted, and valued. That’s why they partner with us: to unlock the commercial and emotional impact of music.
At Black Lab Music, we combine creative excellence with strategic analysis. Every sonic identity we design is grounded in a deep understanding of your brand, your audience, and your competitors. This ensures your audio branding is not only emotive and memorable but also aligned with your business goals - helping you increase recognition, build loyalty, and grow brand equity.
When you work with us, you gain more than music. You gain a partner who understands how to connect creativity with commercial outcomes, ensuring your investment in sound delivers measurable value.
Why Black Labradors?

We believe that music for business should be as adaptable, memorable, and impactful as the most trusted brand assets. By creating bespoke, strategically informed compositions, we help you unleash your sound and ensure your audio branding is as distinctive and enduring as the loyal Black Lab itself.
