ABOUT US

The History of T M H/UBG:

In 1998 Aries D. launched The Music Hall (T M H), a messageboard named after the home-made mixtapes given to family and friends when he was younger. The online messageboard is where people came to discuss the music industry as well as the artists involved. T M H rapidly grew to a full-fledge entertainment website in 1999 named T M H Entertainment. The site featured news, media, contests and reviews. The following year, an opportunity arose for the site to interview rapper Nate Dogg. “Nate was the first artist interview I’d ever done for the site, so I jumped at it – more like leaped,” says Aries. When the interview was published on the website, requests began pouring in from various record labels to have their artists interviewed for the site. Aries went on to interview singers Brandy, RL, New Edition, Jon B and Ciara, rappers Nelly, Kurupt and The Eastside Boys, actor/comedian Katt Williams (who T M H designed his first official website), BET industry executive Stephen Hill and a host of others for T M H Entertainment's E-zine.

T M H eventually expanded in the realms of fansites by creating sites especially designed for promoting artists new projects. Aries worked day in and out creating sites online viewers would notice. After opening a fansite for Faith Evans, he was determined to meet someone from the Bad Boy Records camp to let them know of the site. Faith happened to be visiting the Twin Cities for a concert with Dru Hill and Total. With his driven nature in overdrive, his dream came true when he met Todd Russaw, Faith’s manager and husband. He gave him the site information and in return was invited to Faith’s after party. This chance meeting eventually led to phone calls placed to Aries to create Faith’s official site for her third album, Faithfully. In 2001, Faith Evans first ever official site debuted in time for the release of the album. The site was designed and maintained by T M H Entertainment. That wasn't all, T M H also had creative and full control of the site. In English terms, not even Bad Boy Entertainment, could go in and access or modify the site content without T M H Entertainment's permission. T M H had its first major project under their belt and little did Aries know, more was on the horizon.

Shanice World, another fansite created by Aries, was visited by Shanice’s family whom he became acquainted with via the messageboard. The success of Shanice’s fansite led her assistant to invite Aries down to Wisconsin to meet Shanice while she was on tour with *N’Sync. A conflict within his schedule wouldn’t permit him to attend, he eventually received his chance on her final night on the tour in Atlanta. Aries interviewed Shanice for the site and the two became friends. T M H Entertainment went on to develop a plethora of websites for artists such as Janet Jackson, Lil’ Mo, Mint Condition, Usher (T M H was responsible for his official site name, Usher World) and Monica's official fansite for J Records.

In 2005, Aries and business partner Jason Richards decided to take T M H in a new direction. They both decided to re-invent their mission and provide more services than fansites. “I’ve always wanted to do so many things but it seemed with T M H, people expected us to do sites and that’s it,” Aries said. Urban Bridgez Group was now born with a mission to tackle multi-media, marketing and management, with their first artist debuting in fall of 2007. In order to capture the mainstream audience, Urban Bridgez's E-Zine dubbed themselves “the hottest urban e-zine online”. The 2005 launch of the new business and e-zine proved to be a successful. With eye-catching interviews from singers Shanice Wilson and Ray-J who happen to be clients of UBG. “We work directly with Ray J’s KnockOut Entertainment label doing marketing and promotions for their artists which include Shorty Mack, Ray J and his big sister Brandy. We also had the opportunity in doing pre-album promotion for Shanice to let people know about her latest effort, Every Woman Dreams,” says Aries. During UBG’s first year their list of celebrity interviews skyrocketed including some of today’s who’s who in music including Ciara, R. Kelly, Sonja Norwood, Damon Dash, Ne-Yo, Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child, Bow Wow, LeToya, Lyfe and so many more.

With Urban Bridgez Group as a whole, some of their clients include Music World Entertainment, Blackground Records, KnockOut Entertainment; recording artists Faith Evans, Ray J, Monica and Brandy. "It amazes me when I think of all we've accomplished during the last few years with UBG. It's all a blessing," says Aries.
