Independent Leadership.
Established Experience.
A Vision Built Over 25 Years.
CSP Music Group is an Atlanta-based independent music company founded and led by Dr. Christopher Starr.
Established in 1999, CSP Music Group has built more than 25 years of history in the music industry under Dr. Starr’s leadership, evolving into an organization recognized for its experience, professional relationships, executive guidance, and commitment to independent artists.
At the center of the company is a leadership philosophy built around vision.
CSP believes an artist’s career should not be defined by a single release, opportunity, or moment. It should be approached with an understanding of the larger picture: where the artist is, what they are building, where they want to go, and what decisions will best support that direction.
That perspective has shaped CSP Music Group for more than two decades.
Today, the company is led by Dr. Starr alongside an accomplished group of music professionals whose collective experience includes Grammy-winning work, major industry recognition, and careers across respected areas of music and entertainment.
Together, they represent the experience, perspective, and professional standard behind CSP Music Group.
Dr. Christopher Starr
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Christopher Starr is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CSP Music Group and an executive, strategist, consultant, and music-industry professional whose career spans more than 25 years.
Throughout his career, Dr. Starr has worked closely with artists, executives, creatives, entrepreneurs, and music professionals while developing a perspective that extends well beyond any single area of the industry.
His work has increasingly centered on leadership, artist career strategy, executive consulting, professional development, and helping artists and their teams make informed decisions about the direction of their careers.
As CEO of CSP Music Group, Dr. Starr is responsible for the company’s vision, strategic direction, professional standards, and continued evolution.
He also provides the leadership under which an accomplished team of music professionals operates.
Members of that team bring significant industry credentials of their own, including Grammy-winning work and recognition across major music and entertainment platforms.
The ability to lead professionals at that level speaks to a different dimension of Dr. Starr’s career.
His role is not simply to participate in the work.
It is to establish the vision, identify the right expertise, bring accomplished people together, guide the larger strategy, and maintain a standard that allows those professionals to contribute at their highest level.
That executive perspective has become central to CSP Music Group.
Dr. Starr is also known for his consultative approach to working with artists. Rather than viewing an artist through a single project or immediate need, he considers the broader career, the artist’s existing position, long-term goals, opportunities, challenges, and the decisions that can influence what happens next.
For Dr. Starr, leadership begins with understanding the vision before determining how to move it forward.
Recognition, Education & Community Impact.
Dr. Starr’s work has also been recognized beyond CSP Music Group.
He received an official proclamation from the City of Atlanta recognizing his contributions to the community and the music industry, acknowledging years of leadership, service, and impact.
His professional and educational journey also includes earning a doctoral degree, with the graduation ceremony held at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
That milestone reflects a career that has continued to expand beyond music alone into executive leadership, consulting, entrepreneurship, education, and community involvement.
These experiences have helped shape the perspective Dr. Starr brings to CSP Music Group today.
He approaches leadership not simply from the position of someone who has worked in the industry, but as an executive responsible for guiding people, making strategic decisions, developing organizations, and creating environments where experienced professionals can work toward a shared vision.
Accomplished Professionals.
Shared Vision.
CSP Music Group is supported by an established team of professionals whose collective careers reflect significant accomplishment within the music industry.
Members of the team have contributed to Grammy-winning work, earned recognition within major industry environments, and developed careers across different areas of music and entertainment.
They bring individual expertise, professional relationships, creative perspective, and years of experience to CSP Music Group.
Dr. Starr’s role is to bring that expertise together under a common direction.
The company is structured around collaboration between experienced professionals rather than the idea that one individual should attempt to provide every answer.
That distinction is important to CSP Music Group.
The strength of the organization comes not only from the accomplishments of the people involved, but from their ability to operate collectively under leadership that understands how the different pieces of an artist’s career connect.
The team shares Dr. Starr’s belief that the artist’s vision must remain at the center of that work.
CSP Music Group does not exist to manufacture an identity for an artist.
It exists to understand the identity and ambition already there and place experienced people around that vision who can help it develop professionally.
More Than 25 Years Of
Leadership And Continuity.
CSP Music Group has now operated for more than 25 years in an industry defined by constant change.
The company has remained active through fundamental shifts in technology, media, distribution, artist independence, consumer behavior, and the overall structure of the music business.
That longevity represents more than time.
It represents leadership, adaptability, professional relationships, institutional knowledge, and the ability to continue moving forward as the industry changes.
CSP Music Group maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, reflecting the professional business standards the company has maintained over the years.
In 2026, CSP Music Group was nominated for Best of Georgia, adding another distinction to the company’s history and standing within its home state.
Dr. Christopher Starr’s City of Atlanta proclamation further recognizes the broader impact of the company’s leadership within music and the community.
Together, these milestones tell a larger story.
Understand The Vision First.
More than 25 years after founding CSP Music Group, Dr. Christopher Starr continues to lead the company with the same principle that has shaped its growth:
Understand the vision first.
The artist brings the ambition, the ideas, the music, and the picture of where they ultimately want to go.
CSP Music Group brings together leadership, experience, professional perspective, relationships, and an accomplished team capable of helping that vision move forward.
That is the role Dr. Starr has built for the company.
Not to become the artist.
Not to replace the artist’s vision.
But to lead an organization capable of standing beside that vision with the experience and professional infrastructure to help make it real.
