Who are you…..?

Hi I’m Rick, I started this record label in 2016 as a way to bring together the threads of what I was creating. A simple idea.

I think of it as the home for my various music and video ideas — each with their own styles and moods, but all rooted in a single creative vision. Instrumental or vocal-led, slow-mo, upbeat or something in between - I’ve never worked in just one genre because songs don’t arrive that way. I’ve never listened like that either, it all can be beautiful.

How did we get here? Short answer: picture being at school playing Queen covers, then through full-throttle psychedelia, kitchen-sink meets Bossa Nova and a folky singer-songwriter phase. A little dash of offbeat indie rock and some fun stints in Latin and jazz groups and now we find ourselves here. All different, all varied - but throughout has been this connection with something much bigger than myself - because music is enormous - but also this connection with those around me, with those who also love music.

Now I’m building this into a curated universe: a home for diverse, imaginative projects exploring those connections. There’s a lot going on — but I’m staying open to whatever comes next: more collaborations? More unexpected directions? More connection? Yes please!

If this sounds good to you - then sign up and we’ll keep you posted on what’s coming up next - see you there.
