“Serving Artists and Audiences" is MVD Entertainment's purpose statement and has served as a guiding light for Ed Seaman throughout his career. Starting with MVD in 1989, Seaman joined the family business started by his father in 1987, longtime industry veteran Tom Seaman. Having learned every aspect of the business, by the early 2000s Seaman was running MVD and transformed it from being primarily a wholesale entity for music videotapes to a traditional full-service audio and video distribution firm. Today, MVD exclusively represents thousands of audio and visual products for DVD, Blu-ray, CD, vinyl and digital rights, worldwide. MVD also exclusively distributes a growing line of merchandise including limited edition collectibles, t-shirts and more. MVD's customer base consists of major retail chains and digital platforms, along with a strong commitment to independent retailers and digital sites.
