KMR Studios is a music studio and indie record label in Uppsala that offers services in three areas: music, publishing and education. Our mission is to contribute to more people making more music in a way that is fun, sustainable and exciting. Whether you’re looking for a collaborator for your fourth album or your first single, we want to help you find what you love the most with your creative work, create goals, and then help you achieve them. 

Music studio

Since 2019, KMR Studios has produced, mixed and mastered over 200 songs that have been released on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. KMR is also the first and currently one of two studios north of Stockholm that are certified by Dolby to produce, mix and master in Dolby Atmos – in Sweden.

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.

Education

Education is close to our hearts and we work hard to provide lectures, courses and workshops that are cutting edge. 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.
