MVD Entertainment Group (previously known as Music Video Distributors) was founded in 1986 by Tom Seaman, an industry veteran of more than 40 years, whose background includes retailing stints with Record Hunter, Sam Goody, Musicland, CBS Retail, and wholesale experience with Jem Records. MVD initially acted primarily as a one-stop, buying all labels' music-related VHS releases and reselling to music and video stores. Getting involved with DVD early, MVD called upon its strong relationships with content holders, labels, artists, and management to become a world leader in music DVD. In 2006, MVD expanded further and launched an audio CD division (MVD Audio) based on these same strong relationships with suppliers and customers.
MVD Entertainment Group is a corporation consisting of three major divisions: MVD Visual, MVD Audio, and MVD Distribution.
