About Us

Inner Court Music Group

Inner Court Music Group was established in 1997 by Gregory Pearson, Curtis Pearson, Kenneth Mathies and Dianne Pearson. The company started as a recording label, releasing the hit album by Darius Twyman & Destiny “Fulfilling My Destiny” in 1998. They went on to release other projects such as “The Midwest Regional Mass Choir” and “His Image,” to name a few. As a recording label, Inner Court received great acclaim across the country as one of the “on the rise independent labels,” and was featured in The Detroit News as one of Detroit’s “up and coming black-owned businesses.”

Inner Court has evolved from a recording label into a production company and recording studio. Our fully equipped, award-winning recording facility is considered one of the Detroit area’s top studios. We have produced or recorded over 500 projects throughout the years for both national and local recording artists. Inner Court has worked on projects with Marvin Winans, John P. Kee, Dorinda Clark Cole, Karen Clark Sheard, “Pop” Winans, Donnie McClurkin, Ernest Pugh, Shirley Caesar and many others.

Even though we’ve recorded many genres of music, our main focus is gospel.
