Here at HorizonVUMusic we have a heartfelt passion for music and the music
business. Phil is a beginner on the guitar and he can't sing, so he started
looking for other ways to work with emerging musicians and friends who
shared his vision. Together as the HVUM team, we put our strengths together
and started the company. From the beginning we have met a lot of wonderful,
interesting people from the world of entertainment and media...We look
forward to seeing you!
