Mr Jones

Founder and Director

Mr Jones is a UK hip hop artist, songwriter, and music manager, and the founder and CEO of Manchester Music Group. Known for his sharp wordplay, punchline heavy lyricism, and infectious hooks, he built his reputation as an independent artist, releasing multiple albums while carving out his own lane in the UK hip hop scene.

Through years of performing, writing, and navigating the industry independently, Mr Jones gained first hand insight into both the opportunities and the barriers that emerging artists face. That journey became the foundation for Manchester Music Group.

Founded with the goal of empowering independent talent, Manchester Music Group was created to provide the guidance, development, and opportunities that many artists struggle to access early in their careers. Drawing on his experience as both an artist and a strategist behind the scenes, Mr Jones works closely with musicians not only as a manager but also as a creative collaborator. He writes for artists across different genres, contributes to the production process, and helps develop their sound, identity, and brand.

Driven by a passion for artist development and a commitment to strengthening the Manchester music scene, Mr Jones continues to balance his own creative career with his mission to support and elevate the next generation of talent.

Summer J

Chief Listening officer

At just 10 years old, Summer Jones has more musical authority than most industry execs. As the Chief Listening Officer for Manchester Music Group, she decides which tracks are cool enough for today’s young people—and if they’re not? Straight to the bin. With a playlist sharper than her maths homework and a no-nonsense approach to bad beats, Summer is the final boss every artist must impress. If your song doesn’t make her dance, nod, or at least stop scrolling, it's game over.

Rumour has it she once rejected a track just because it didn’t pass the “vibe test.” Consider yourself warned. 🎧🔥
