HEART 2
MELODY
RECORDS
Where Emotion Meets Sound. An independent record label built on belief, structure, and a vision that goes beyond the music.
Who We Are
MORE THAN A
RECORD LABEL
Heart 2 Melody Records was built with intention, structure, and vision.
Founded by Dominique “Domo Muziq” Clarke and Tavon “Chubz” Richards, H2M operates as a full creative ecosystem — a record label at its core, extending across talent management, publishing, media, and artist development.
Based in Baltimore, Maryland. Built to last.
Every artist on our roster is treated as a brand, a business, and a legacy entity — with protected ownership and positioned for longevity.
The Foundation
BUILT FROM
THE GROUND UP
“This company was not built from shortcuts. It was built from belief, work, consistency, and execution.”
No investors. No shortcuts. No industry favors. Heart 2 Melody was built from home offices and recording sessions, from early mornings and late nights — two founders who refused to wait for permission.
We protect ownership, encourage authentic expression, and build systems that sustain careers — not just releases. Integrity is not a talking point here. It is how we operate.
What It Means to Sign With Us
“We don't just sign artists —
we build what comes next.”
Signing with Heart 2 Melody means joining a structure built around you — your voice, your ownership, your long-term career. We protect what you create and position you for what comes after the first release.
Artists here receive mentorship, brand strategy, business literacy, and creative freedom within structure. We don't sign moments — we build legacies.
Submit Your MusicOur Mission
“To give artists the freedom to create and the structure to build something that lasts.”
We've seen what happens when talent has no structure. Heart 2 Melody was built so that never happens here.
We turn raw emotion into professional sound — and we protect the people who make it. Their voice. Their ownership. Their future.
Our Vision
“To build a platform that outlasts the moment — where emotion becomes legacy.”
A world where independence is respected, every artist owns their work, and Heart 2 Melody stands as a long-term home — not just a label, but a foundation for everything that follows.
Our Values
Integrity
We do what's right even when it's hard.
Transparency
We communicate with honesty and clarity.
Creative Freedom
We protect individuality and self-expression.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest standard in sound, business, and presentation.
Legacy
Every decision we make builds the foundation for something that lasts.
Founders
TWO PATHS.
ONE PURPOSE.
One led with emotion; the other built with execution. Together, Dominique and Tavon became the balance the industry was missing — a label that feels like art but runs like a company.
Dominique Clarke
Chief Executive Officer · Overseer
"I've always believed music is emotion you can hear."
Dominique's story begins in Queens, New York, and grew its roots in Maryland and Washington, D.C. A natural competitor — basketball, football, track, soccer, bowling, tennis, and even youth chess champion in Fort Washington — he found his true calling through music.
Under the mentorship of Noble Jolley Sr. and Jr., Dominique discovered that music was more than entertainment — it was emotion in motion. Then nine years in the U.S. Army forged the discipline, leadership, and resilience that now drive his artistry and business.
His mission is legacy. Every lyric, session, and decision he makes is built to show the next generation that passion, discipline, and integrity can build a name that outlasts fame. His music defies category — soulful, honest, and alive, written from experience, sung from emotion.

Tavon Richards
Chief Operating Officer · Label Director
"I built what I wish existed for creators like us."
Born and raised in Baltimore, Tavon was introduced to studio life at age five. By his teens he was wiring consoles and learning analog mixing. Mentored by industry professionals including Dru Hill producers, he developed an ear that seasoned engineers twice his age respected.
Today he's a Pro Tools powerhouse with credits spanning Snow tha Product (Live Nation 2023), Tory Lanez Festivals, 42 Dugg Shows, and contract engineering for Capital Jazz Fest and SuperCruise series. Fluent across DigiCo, Yamaha, Allen & Heath, Midas, PreSonus, and Behringer.
Beyond engineering, Tavon is a strategic entrepreneur — the operational architect who built Heart 2 Melody's infrastructure: contracts, royalty frameworks, business models, and artist development systems that protect every creator under the label's roof.

The Union
“We built Heart 2 Melody from nothing but belief — belief that emotion deserves structure, and structure deserves soul.”
Dominique Clarke & Tavon Richards
Origin Story
THE STORY BEHIND
HEART 2 MELODY
“Before there was a label, there were two creators chasing a sound the industry couldn't define — and a purpose it couldn't ignore.”
The Beginning
Before the Label, There Was a Belief
Heart 2 Melody Records wasn't built from blueprints or budgets — it was born from belief. Two men from different worlds, Dominique "Domo Muziq" Clarke and Tavon "Chubz Mixedit" Richards, collided around one shared conviction: that music deserves both emotion and structure, heart and execution. That conviction became a label. That label became a movement.
The Heart
Domo: Emotion Made Discipline
Domo's journey spanned Queens, Maryland, and D.C. — a natural competitor in everything from basketball to chess. When the courts went quiet, music called. Mentored by Noble Jolley Sr. and Jr., he learned that music was emotion in motion. Then nine years in the U.S. Army forged discipline and resilience into his artistry. Every risk he takes is for legacy — to show his children that passion, integrity, and consistency build a name that outlasts fame.
The Melody
Chubz: Structure Built to Protect Art
Chubz was in the studio at age five. By his teens he was wiring consoles and learning analog mixing under Dru Hill producers. Today he's engineered for Snow tha Product, Tory Lanez Festivals, 42 Dugg Shows, and holds a contract at Capital Jazz Fest and SuperCruise series. But his greatest contribution was architectural: turning Heart 2 Melody into a full infrastructure — contracts, royalty frameworks, and business models that ensure every creator keeps what they create.
The Union
When Heart Met Melody
When Domo and Chubz connected, it felt less like coincidence and more like calling. What one dreamed, the other built. What one imagined, the other documented. They started from nothing — no investors, no shortcuts — just faith, hunger, and structure. They built from home offices and studios, designing systems that turned independence into a professional ecosystem. They didn't follow the industry's rules. They rewrote them.
The Legacy
The Story Still Being Written
Today, their partnership is a blueprint — showing the world that structure and soul can coexist. Every artist they sign, every session they oversee, every partnership they form carries their dual imprint: Domo's emotion and creativity, Chubz's precision and protection. Two halves of one heartbeat. And the story isn't finished — it's only the first chapter.
“Every Beat Tells a Story —
and Every Story Deserves to Be Heard.”

Artist Development
HOW WE
BUILD ARTISTS
Development is the foundation of everything we do here. At H2M, it is not a checklist — it is a process. Each step builds on the last, creating a foundation that can hold the weight of a real career.
Discovery
We evaluate every submission on artistry, authenticity, and alignment — not just sound. We're looking for artists with something real to say and the discipline to say it consistently.
Artist Assessment
Before anything is built, we understand where the artist stands — vocally, visually, and strategically. Strengths, gaps, and goals are mapped together so development has direction.
Identity & Brand Development
Who you are as an artist must be defined before you're positioned in the market. We work with each artist to establish an authentic identity — name, image, sound, and story — that stands on its own.
Creative Production
With identity established, the creative work begins. Sessions, engineering, production, and visual direction are coordinated to produce work that reflects both the artist's truth and H2M's standard of excellence.
Release & Marketing Strategy
Every release is treated as a campaign. We plan rollouts, build content calendars, develop audience strategy, and coordinate distribution so that music reaches the right people with intention — not just timing.
Career Positioning & Growth
The launch is only the beginning. Long-term career development includes booking strategy, business education, industry navigation, and continuous brand refinement. We build artists for longevity — not just a moment.
“Artist development is the foundation — not an afterthought. Every step is designed to protect the artist, elevate the art, and sustain the career.”

The Movement
NOT JUST MUSIC —
A MOVEMENT
Heart 2 Melody is built to be more than a record label. The goal is a full creative ecosystem — music, visuals, publishing, brand development, and business infrastructure — all growing in the same direction.

Production & Engineering
Dolby Atmos-grade studio access. Engineers with major-label credits. Your sound, elevated.
Publishing & Distribution
Royalty frameworks, publishing infrastructure, and distribution built to protect and grow your catalog.

Business literacy, career strategy, and mentorship — because informed artists build lasting careers.
