Our Story
RAMP was founded by Cheryl Beattie, Richard Harris, and Pam Sheyne. Together they witnessed the same challenges time and again; talented local artists with vision, drive, and potential to succeed internationally, but no clear roadmap to get there.
Having built successful careers as songwriters, producers, artist developers, and music entrepreneurs, the founders understand firsthand what it takes to break beyond geographical boundaries. Collectively, they have written and produced hit records, developed emerging artists, secured major publishing deals, and built global networks. Yet each of them faced the same reality, navigating an often complex and unpredictable music business, far from home.
Those experiences inspired a shared mission, to make the path clearer for the next generation of artists. RAMP exists to bridge the gap between local talent and global opportunity. Drawing on decades of industry experience and international relationships, the company provides emerging artists with the knowledge, mentorship, and strategic guidance needed to build sustainable careers and compete on the world stage.

Artists
Clancy
"Clancy is an Australian pop singer-songwriter whose unmistakable voice and emotionally charged songwriting reveal an artist deeply connected to the human experience. Splitting her time between Melbourne, Australia, and Nashville, Tennessee, she has spent the last several years refining her sound and evolving as a songwriter. Along the way, she has collaborated with dream creatives and respected industry veterans, expanding her creative perspective while continuing to develop her artistry on an international stage. Alongside her artist project, Clancy has been building her presence in the world of sync and recently featured as a vocalist on the soundtrack on the globally released Netflix Series Devil May Cry, with the track garnering over 400,000 streams on Spotify in under a month. Finding her voice at a young age, Clancy’s music is shaped by personal struggle, growth, and an unwavering drive to carve out a sound entirely her own — one that invites listeners to both celebrate and confront the powerful, scary, beautiful, and often messy emotions that live within us all. Sonically, Clancy exists in the pop world, blending quirky, textured production with deeply honest lyrics. Influenced by artists such as Julia Micheals, Lizzy McAlpine, Lennon Stella, Imogen Heap, and Lorde, her music balances vulnerability with boldness, intimacy with edge."
Mathilde Anne
Mathilde Anne writes from the quiet corners of her life, turning small moments into something deeply human.

Raised in a music-loving household, Mathilde’s influences span generations and genres, from the ethereal intimacy of Billie Eilish and Gracie Abrams to the rawness of The Cranberries and the emotional pull of Patrick Watson. The result is a distinctive blend of alt-pop, folk storytelling and atmospheric rock. After releasing her debut single, I’ve Had Enough in 2022 via Sandhill Records, Mathilde followed with Dancing in the Living Room, the winning track written for the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 262 Project, tackling body image, lockdown grief and mental health with fierce honesty.Her 2024 debut album Normal, supported by Creative Victoria, explored self-acceptance, empowerment and the experience of being a woman on the spectrum. Tracks including To Be Honest, No Good at Goodbyes and Haunt You (When I’m Gone) further established her emotionally direct songwriting. Mathilde has built a loyal live following, performing at venues including The Corner Hotel, The Toff and Oxford Arts Factory, and supporting artists such as Cub Sport, Charlie Pittman, Telenova and Joan & The Giants. Her breakout single Break, featuring Des Cortez, spent three weeks in the AMRAP Metro Top 10, showcasing her ethereal pop sound through strings, emotion and theatrical tension. In 2025, Mathilde toured Europe acoustically, performing in Köln, London and Durham while writing with UK writers and producers. She also performed at Live Nation Melbourne’s Ones to Watch series and joined the 2026 Port Fairy Folk Festival as part of The Future in Folk program. In the summer of 2026, Mathilde travelled to Los Angeles to perform and present her work at the Durango Film & TV Festival. Whilst in LA, she took the opportunity to also collaborate with many established LA producers and topliners. She returns with Cigarettes and Anxious Sex, a bold EP bridging Normal and her forthcoming sophomore album, supported by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Arts Fund and Creative Victoria Music Works programs. Co-written with international collaborators including Pam Sheyne (Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus) and Josh Beattie (Bella Amour, Sofia Isella), the project expands her sonic world while revealing a more playful and candid voice. Supported by a growing creative and industry team, Mathilde Anne is expanding her international presence. Honest, vulnerable and uncompromising, she is emerging as a distinctive voice in the next generation of Australian music.
