Dubai.The newcapital of sound.
A partnership between Romal Music and LPME Studios to build the world's most ambitious production house, engineered in Dubai, released to the world.
"London made the 60s. Los Angeles made the 90s. The next decade belongs to Dubai."
The world's leading artists no longer travel to a single city to record. They travel for an experience, a place where production, lifestyle, capital and culture compound into something they cannot get at home.
Dubai already has the infrastructure, the capital, the international air-bridge and the appetite. What it lacks is a single creative house with the ambition, and the catalog, to make the city's name synonymous with the records the world plays.
This proposal lays out how two organizations, combined, become exactly that house.
LPME Studios
MENA's #1 music studio. Three world-class main rooms and eight producer suites on the 30th floor of Jumeirah Lake Towers, including two of the world's most acclaimed Dolby Atmos rooms (9.1.4 & 11.1.6). SSL Duality Fuse console. PMC monitoring throughout.
- → 25 years operating in the region
- → Recognized Dolby Atmos certified facility
- → Full-scope: audio, video, events, records, publishing
Romal Music
Founded by Arian Romal, singer, songwriter and producer with a growing international footprint and a back-catalogue built across pop, urban and cinematic genres. A repeat songwriter, hands-on producer, and the architect of the artist-first deal flow this venture is built around.
- → Active artist with global press coverage
- → Writer–producer pipeline of original material
- → Direct relationships with international talent
Build the biggest music house in Dubai.
A complete product
Songwriting, production, mix, master, music video, one address, one team, release-ready.
Two ways to deal
Artists buy the work and own their masters, or the house funds and owns the masters, both sides win.
One catalog, compounding
Every record cut here, every camp run here, feeds a master-rights catalog the house owns and monetizes.
International collaborations.
Co-produce songs with international artists at LPME and release them through the house. We retain master rights, split royalties, and stack a catalog of high-visibility records under our name.
A full production house.
Deliver the next international hits, written, produced, mixed, mastered and shot in Dubai. The house is the factory; the artists are the talent. Dubai becomes the address that matters.
Two doors. Same standard. Either way, we make the record.
The artist pays for the work.
The artist commissions the house to deliver a release-ready record, writing, production, mix, master, optional video. The artist keeps the master rights. The house retains 50% of the song's royalties as the creative team behind it.
The house funds the work.
The house covers everything, studio, team, video, release. In exchange, the house owns the masters outright and retains 50% of royalties. This is the engine that builds the long-term catalog.
A clean ledger. Fifty / fifty, every line.
The partnership runs through a new Dubai freezone-licensed company. Romal Music and LPME enter as equal shareholders. All revenue from records, sync, video, publishing and live runs through it. Every cost runs through it. The split is identical on both sides of the ledger.

What runs every day.
A house is built by output, not announcements. The day-to-day rhythm of the partnership is engineered to keep the catalog growing and the studios full.
Studio access, prioritized.
LPME's rooms are available to Arian Romal as a first-call resident producer, for production, recording, mix and master. This protects momentum: when the catalog needs a record, the room is open.
Three songs a month. Minimum.
A guaranteed output of at least three fully produced and written songs per month, contributed to the House Pool. These tracks are house-owned IP that can be pitched to artists, used for sync, or released directly.
Music camps, on rotation.
Periodic invite-only writing camps bring international writers and producers to Dubai for short, intense sessions. Every track produced at a house camp is wholly owned by the house, masters, publishing, the lot.
Once the records ship, the house keeps expanding.
Film production
Original features and shorts produced under the same roof, sound, score and visual identity already in-house.
Documentary
Long-form documentary on the artists, the city, the records and the culture forming around the house.
Brand & sync
Brand campaigns, hotel residencies, sync placements, monetizing the catalog beyond streams.
Hitmakers
Club
A name that promises one thing and delivers it. Hits. From Dubai. For the world.
Hitmakers Club is not built to sign artists. It is built to make records, the kind that travel, chart, and last, with whichever artist is sitting in the room.
Pop from Seoul. Hip-hop from Lagos. Latin from Medellín. Stadium R&B from Toronto. The club is genre-agnostic and artist-agnostic. The only constant is the quality of the output and the address on the back cover: Dubai.
The asset we build is a catalog. Hundreds of records, all genres, all markets, all owned, in part or in whole, by the club. Over a decade, that catalog becomes the most valuable music asset in the region, and one of the most diversified in the world.
Produce records, write songs, mix, master, shoot videos, and deliver release-ready masters, for any artist who walks into the club.
Sign artists to long-term label deals. The club is a production engine and a catalog, not a roster manager.
A genre-agnostic, multi-language catalog of master rights and publishing shares, compounding release by release.
The next great music house won't be born in London or LA. It will be built in the city the whole industry is already flying through. Dubai is the obvious answer, somebody just has to name the room.
A club that doesn't sign artists but produces for all of them is exactly the kind of structure the post-streaming era needs. The catalog is the asset. The artist comes and goes.
If you put LPME's rooms, LPME's relationships and a real production engine under one brand, that brand is bigger than any single artist on its books. Hitmakers Club reads like that brand.
Indicative positioning quotes used to illustrate market sentiment. Real attributions, with permission, will replace these prior to public launch.
LPME's international network, switched on.
Twenty-five years of operating at the top of the region has given LPME relationships that most production houses spend a career trying to build, major labels, global publishers, A-list producers, touring artists, Atmos certification bodies, brand partners and broadcasters. Hitmakers Club is the brand that activates all of it.
Every door LPME has opened over two decades becomes a pipeline into the club. Every relationship becomes a potential session. Every international artist passing through Dubai becomes a candidate for the catalog.
Existing working relationships across the three majors and leading independents.
Pipelines into global publishing for sync, co-writes and catalog placement.
Access to a rolodex of A-list international producers, on call for camps and one-offs.
Touring talent already routing through Dubai, ready to be programmed into the club.
Brand partners, hotel groups and broadcasters with audience reach across MENA and beyond.
Dolby, certification partners and standards-setters that legitimize the work globally.
"Hitmakers Club isn't a record label. It's the room the records get made in, and the catalog they leave behind."
A private society for everyone the club builds with.
Every artist, writer, producer and collaborator who passes through the club is invited into the Hitmakers Society, a permanent, invite-only network that turns one-off sessions into a long-term cultural circle around Dubai.
Members carry the badge. The club carries the calendar.
Private listening nights
First-listen sessions of unreleased records in the LPME Atmos rooms, members only, no press, no phones.
Release parties
Every house release gets a club night, hosted in Dubai's best rooms, with members on the guest list by default.
Annual Hitmakers Gala
One headline event per year. Awards for the year's biggest records, the room every member wants to be in.
Invite-only camps
Members are first-call for writing camps and producer retreats run by the club, from desert villas to yacht weeks.
Member card & perks
A physical card. Studio time, LPME rooms, hotel partners, restaurant residencies, and city access negotiated as a block deal.
The Hitmakers Index
A private quarterly digest of catalog performance, new members, upcoming releases, and the music-industry intel only the room gets.
Mentorship circle
Senior members open sessions, song-camps and feedback days for emerging members. The club teaches itself.
Brand & sync access
First look at brand campaigns, hotel residencies and sync briefs that come through the club, members get the call first.
Resident
In-house writers, producers and core artists. The day-to-day engine of the club.
Member
Invited collaborators, returning international artists, and key partners.
Honorary
Industry figures, alumni and friends of the house. By invitation of the board.
Twelve months to establish. Thirty-six to dominate.
Foundation
NewCo licensed. Term sheets signed. House Pool begins. First international collab announced.
Catalog
First releases under the house brand. Two music camps. 36+ tracks in the Pool.
Scale
Roster of recurring international artists. Sync deals open. Publishing arm activated.
Expansion
Film, documentary and brand division spin up. Dubai is the address on the back cover.
The studio is built. The songs are written. Let's release them.
The path forward is short: agree the term sheet, incorporate the Dubai NewCo, transfer initial House Pool tracks, and announce the first international collaboration. Everything else compounds from there.
