In February 2010, Little Duck Music, LLC was formed by Matt Paparella and Ryan Braman after working together as the management, marketing, booking and publicity arm for the band Sweet Japonic for the past 10 years.  During that time the pair grew the band into an award winning successful recording and touring act.  Soon after Sweet Japonic decided to split ways, Matt and Ryan's redirected their experience, skills and passion for music into LDM.  Since then they have seeked to help the West Michigan music scene flourish locally and beyound!

Through word of mouth and past success their business has taken on a life of its own.  LDM now represents two exclusive and several part time artists, multiple regional venues and is involved behind the scenes at yearly special events.  In early 2011 they added an additional agent and created several strategic partnerships to offer different levels of services to more clients.  LDM always takes a sincere customized approach to both the artist and talent buyers needs.  Through strategic planning, networking, due diligence, and hardwork they strive to exceed their clients goals with a high level of integrity.
