Hi, I'm Michael Coltham, the founder and Creative Director of Black Lab Music Ltd.
Our Purpose:
Born from a belief that sound should never be an afterthought, I founded Black Lab Music to bridge the gap between artistry and business strategy.
In a world saturated with visual branding and clever copy, sonic identity is often overlooked - yet it holds the power to evoke emotion, build trust, and shape perception in ways nothing else can.
At Black Lab Music, we help brands harness that power with intention.
We craft bespoke audio ecosystems that align with your brand’s values, resonate with your audience, and elevate your message.
Whether it’s a signature sound, a strategic audio campaign, or a full sonic rebrand, our work is rooted in deep listening - both to your goals and to the psychology of your audience.
Your Success:
But we’re more than composers. We’re strategic partners. With a background in both music and business, I’ve built Black Lab Music to operate at the intersection of creativity and commercial clarity. Every note we write is backed by insight, every project shaped by purpose.
We work with clients who care about connection. Who want their audience to feel something real. Who understand that sound isn’t just decoration - it’s identity.
Our clients 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.
If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
Why Black Labradors?
Meet Maya, our seven‑year‑old Black Lab - the inspiration behind our name. Black Labradors are known for their energy, intelligence, and adaptability. They thrive in diverse environments, are loyal and dependable, and connect with people through their warmth and curiosity.
At Black Lab Music, we embody the same spirit. Just as Labradors are versatile and engaging companions, our music is designed to connect with audiences on an emotional level. 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.
Unleash your sound with Black Lab Music - and turn your brand into an unforgettable audio experience that captivates, connects, and drives growth.
