Open All Nite Entertainment is an entertainment management, marketing and label consulting company that services all areas of development. Whether you are a singer, songwriter, musician, artist, producer or independent record company, we can help you make the right moves to move up to the next level in your business.
This company was originally founded by Steve Belkin in 1995 as a management company. As the music industry shifted away from major label dominance in the late nineties, Steve saw opportunities to offer more services, more effectively, to his clients.
Steve’s mission is to help all artists to be independent, to understand how the music business works, to move up to the next level in their career and to find creative ways of exposing their music and their talent.
Below is a brief list of Steve Belkin’s 30 years of experience.

Steve also handled sales for Concord Records while at Unisound.

“Steve's always been known as a straight shooter and a 'tell it like it is' kind of a guy. You may not like what he has to say, but you can be sure he'll be honest with you. All of his experiences have given him FIRST HAND experience on how things really work in the music industry. 'Book smarts' are good, but nothing replaces 'hands-on' experience! Thankfully, Steve's happy to pass that experience on to his clients.”
