About Don’t Waste My Time Music

Our Story

Don’t Waste My Time Music is a record label dedicated to producing both major and independent artists. We’re always on the lookout for fresh talent, as well as seasoned artists ready to elevate their sound.

Founded in 2009 in Jackson, TN, by childhood best friends Sidney and Pelvis, DWMTM became a nonprofit organization in 2024, officially operating as DWMTM Inc. Born from a shared passion for songwriting and music production, our label is driven by a deep love for every step of the creative process—from the first lyric to the final mix.

Don’t Waste My Time Music Inc is committed to producing top-quality recordings and providing artists with the best resources available. Founders Sidney Gray,  Pelvis Donaldson, and Rodney Gray have a strong grasp of current trends across all music genres, allowing them to stay ahead of the curve in a constantly evolving industry.

We bring together some of the best musicians, songwriters, and engineers to bring your projects to life.

Our Mission

The mission of DWMTM Inc. is to provide a wide range of services to our artists (clients), including music production, artist development, and promotional support. Our artist development program focuses on enhancing stage presence, interview preparation, and public image. We also create opportunities for live performances and support radio and social media promotion to help artists share their music across radio stations and streaming platforms.

DWMTM Inc. envisions a music industry where all artists—regardless of background or economic status—have the opportunity to thrive. Our mission is to educate, develop, promote, and advance the careers of musicians and recording artists by breaking down financial barriers to promotion, production, and distribution.

We are committed to increasing representation, diversity, and access within the industry. Through equitable short-term recording contracts and additional support services, DWMTM Inc. empowers developing artists to create culturally and artistically significant work while building a foundation for long-term financial stability.
