In 2006, Jay Shields had a vision to create a platform that would serve as a one-stop-shop for artists and small business owners. This vision gave birth to the Southern Coalition Movement (S.C.M.), which has since become a powerhouse in the industry.
The Southern Coalition Movement is more than just a networking hub; it is a comprehensive platform that offers a wide range of services to support the growth and success of artists and small business owners. Let’s take a closer look at what SCM has to offer:
Royalty Paying Radio Stations
SCM is home to multiple royalty paying radio stations, providing artists with a platform to showcase their music to a wide audience. These stations not only offer exposure but also ensure that artists receive fair compensation for their work.

As part of SCM, there is a nationwide print magazine and a global online magazine. These publications serve as a platform for artists and small business owners to share their stories, promote their work, and connect with a larger audience. Whether it’s through the glossy pages of the print magazine or the digital reach of the online platform, SCM provides a valuable avenue for exposure.
