What is Dark Label?

Dark Label is a small but mighty music firm based in Nashville and London, proudly serving professional music producers & studios around the globe.

Our life’s work involves researching how producers, songwriters, and audio professionals can earn a sustainable living in an industry that is constantly evolving.

Then we provide personalized advising and ongoing support to our clientele that ranges from working-class producers building careers in their bedroom studios to top 1% industry veterans with multiple Grammys and catalogs with billions of streams.

We’ve discovered that a successful career can look different for different producers. Our specialty is helping you clearly design your ideal career, eliminate overwhelm, and ensure that it’s achieved.

Work with Dark Label

It’s never been easier to be a music producer.

But being a music producer with a long-term career that enables you to earn a stable income doing what you’re best at?

That’s harder to do now than ever.

For serious music makers, this is not a hobby. They are paid for their work, they are methodical about their career, and they are committed to the craft.

At the same time, many are finding it difficult to navigate their career and business in an industry that is rapidly evolving and becoming more saturated.

This is why we launched Dark Label in 2018.

To provide expert advising and ongoing support to working music producers who needed a service that fits them (not the hobbyist education market).

We offer support that is much more customized and hands on yet at a fraction of the cost of these wildly overpriced, one-size fits all programs.

And this is why our clientele includes not just working class producers, but also some of the biggest producers in the world.

How It Works

✺ A music career should offer you: ✺

Having the ability to generate income for yourself on demand, and then understand how to properly use that money to secure your future.
Earning enough demand in the market to be able to choose what you work on and who you work on it with.
Mastering the art of leverage so that you can buy back your time and create/work because you want to, not because you have to.
