FROM THE MUD ENTERTAINMENT (FTM)

From The Mud Entertainment (FTM) is a New York–based music and entertainment company founded by Carl Granum, known artistically as Chase Banks.

​

Born from the culture and grit of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, FTM represents more than a label; it represents a mindset. The name “From The Mud” reflects the journey of rising from struggle, turning adversity into ambition, and transforming raw talent into a lasting legacy.

​

What began as a small circle of friends creating music together has evolved into a growing creative collective dedicated to artist development, talent management, and brand building. FTM works with rappers, singers, and emerging creatives who carry authentic stories and the drive to elevate their craft.

​

At its core, FTM Entertainment is about transformation—taking artists from the mud and helping them rise into fully realized brands through music, merchandise, and cultural influence.

More than a label, FTM is a platform for voices shaped by real experiences and a testament to the power of perseverance, creativity, and vision.
