Record label
We are an independent record label that’s always on the side of the artist. With us, you won’t find any complicated contracts. We think long-term and we only want to work with creative people who want to work with us because they like us, not because a contract forces them to. We offer the artists and bands that we work with the opportunity to get help with everything related to releasing music; administration, graphic design, publishing and promotion.

We offer both standardized and customized courses, workshops and events, lectures and educational materials. We mainly offer our education-services in Swedish, but we also offer 1o1 classes.
