AR Vocal Agency

We partner vocalists with the commercial music industry

The AR Vocal Agency was set up with the primary intention of providing our clients – typically music producers, record labels & established recording artists – with a source of vocalists and topline writers. However, seizing a gap in the market and with the fastest growing community of vocalists in the world, AR now provides singers and topline writers for a wide variety of projects.

Our aim today is to be the one stop shop for all things vocal

We now source vocalists on behalf of our clients for topline writing and recording, backing and session vocals, media placements, TV talent shows and much more – primarily in pop, dance and electronic music. Great effort is taken to ensure that we partner vocalists with the projects best suited to their skill set and style, personally handpicking the talent for each project from our community of vocalists

We look forward to welcoming you to our global community of vocalists!

Our main passion is vocals, and we love discovering new voices! We welcome all vocalists into our wider community, with various ways of connecting and working with us. As well as providing the work opportunities you are seeking, we are committed to ensuring that you can access resources and information to help inspire, motivate and ultimately develop your career as a vocalist or topline writer.

Sticky PostOn June 16, 2017

“I need a manager”. It's the statement I hear most from new and developing artists which, perhaps, is not surprising. What does surprise me as an Artist Manager are their answers when I ask why they feel they need one.

What They Said

ANISH SOOD

Working with Anna has been like a dream from the beginning. She's incredibly professional and punctual with her work, and the quality and variety of toplines she delivered far surpassed my expectations. Highly recommended!

Andrew Armstrong, MONARCHY & HORIXON

I loved working with Anna. She heard the music, we discussed the direction and she immediately suggested a bunch of suitable singers. The important thing was she understood the brief exactly, and had a portfolio of contacts at her fingertips. Worked perfectly for us!

Barney Addison, SYCO

AR Vocal Agency are an absolute joy to work with. Always passionate, always thorough and continually exceeding expectations of what’s needed, whatever the brief.

KLANGKUENSTLER

It is such a pleasure to work with the AR Vocal Agency. Every time I could rely on Anna and her vocalists for high quality and professional recordings. Anna is always super friendly, answers fast and I got everything in very quick time.

GIANT MEN MANAGEMENT

AR were fantastic to work with and their vocalists delivered at the highest standard throughout our sessions. We would not hesitate to work with them and their vocalists again on further projects.

SAMPLE MAGIC

AR have put together a fantastic database of talented singers/songwriters which gave us the welcome challenge of having hours of deliberation to whittle our choice down to one. Working with AR has been awesome; they understood the brief straight away and any feedback was taken on board every time.

YOLANDA BE COOL

FINALLY someone has started this business! I wish we’d known about the AR Vocal Agency earlier, now it’s like our secret weapon.

DOORLY

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for – I’m so glad AR have set this up!

HACKMAN

I was very happy with the results of working with AR. Anna went above and beyond the service I was expecting, and I’d recommend AR to anyone having difficulty sourcing a vocal!

MTA Records

We’ve worked with the AR Vocal Agency for a number of projects at MTA Records including full top lines, sample recreation and much, much more. We highly recommend their services - great communication, quick turnaround and they always smash it out of the park.
