Dramatico Entertainment
Dramatico Entertainment Limited was founded by singer/songwriter/producer/arranger Mike Batt in the early naughties, and achieved its first resounding success in 2003 with the phenomenal Georgian singer-songwriter Katie Melua, who was discovered by Batt at the BRIT School in Croydon. Katie has now sold more than 11 million records on the Dramatico label.
This has helped us to grow our artist roster, often through joint ventures with independent labels from other territories. In addition to Mike Batt and Katie Melua, a few of the artists we are currently working with are:
Our tastes in music are defined by the artists with whom we choose to work - and who choose to work with us. We like to think we can offer a sharply focused yet human approach to marketing, and still put the necessary muscle and energy behind any artist or project that a major record label would be expected, or - sometimes not expected (!) to bring. We are independently distributed in most territories.
Our next stage of planned development will see the dramatic (TV, stage and Film) side of Dramatico growing, alongside the music label and management side. We are deeply into pre-production on a new Wombles TV series, and a high-level CGI feature film "Ergo, The Chronicles Of Don't Be So Ridiculous Valley", and we are also developing two stage shows.

Produced by Mike, and recorded with an orchestra at the legendary Air Studios in London, 'Performance' will include Bob's renditions of classic standards including his signature song 'Cry Me A River'.
But the story did not end there for the 56 year old warehouse worker. Appearing on BBC Breakfast the following week Bob was offered a deal by music producer and record company boss Mike Batt. Mike, who discovered Katie Melua and has written many chart-topping hits including Bright Eyes, had watched Bob's performance and told him "You must not let this chance go by and I would like to help you." Moved to tears Bob later took to Twitter saying "Wow what an incredible morning, I can't thank you all enough for your support! I hope to bring you some great music."
