Who We Are
Pete Briley
1/3 of The Outlaw Orchestra, and with a widely acclaimed solo album to his name, released in 2023, Pete has toured the country and performed alongside the likes of Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, Kris Barras, Reef & the Darkness. The dedication to all aspects of his craft has meant that he has also worked as a composer for TV and Radio as well as a session musician with artists from all around the world. Pete can often be found recording, producing and mastering tracks from his Dorset studio on the top floor, 'Makin Tracks' touring with The Outlaw Orchestra, and running with his dog around the South Coast
Mike Hughes
With over 15 years of experience in the premium hospitality and sponsorship sectors at world leading sports venues, Mike has developed a network of contacts within various facets of entertainment industries. Having taken on a broad range of works for artists including; The Ashley Sherlock Band, The Outlaw Orchestra and Dobermann, this has driven a more direct path into the live music scene in the UK, and culminating in the coordination of live bookings, PR campaigns, release strategy and providing management and tour support. If not sat with a good spreadheet in the Northern musical powerhouse of Manchester... Mike is most likely to be found at a gig somewhere between either the front row, the bar, or even manning the merch stands

“We’ve built up a raft of knowledge and experience over the years and we wanted to extend that knowledge and experience to other artists so we can help them in their own careers and on terms that benefit the artist”
Through continued development and enhancement of their knowledge and by utilising some of the data and analytics available to artists and labels, Pete & Mike looked at the industry to see how those experiences could be used to provide a platform for other artists. The co-founders of Top Floor first entertained the idea of developing a fluid support network that could serve as a 'one-stop-shop' for artists across different levels. From emerging artists who are seeking that guidance within the industry to established acts.
Allowing them to simply delegate much of the demands of the modern day artist and concentrate on what they want to do best - the music.
