DARK LABEL MUSIC

Great producers, Smart careers.

Increase your visibility and build controllable income streams that pay upfront. 

WHERE TALENT MEETS ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(Please refresh if Spotify playlist does not appear)

We help you build what the industry doesn’t.

Dark Label offers business management, strategy, and funding to freelance music producers, songwriters, and other studio professionals.

Most managers focus on the industry side of your career—which is great.  

We focus on the other side... Helping you increase your visibility and build controllable income streams that pay you upfront. 

This empowers you to take bigger risks on the industry side, pursue more meaningful work, and stay in the game longer without burning out. 

Over 700 music professionals have hired us, from small studios to content creators to GRAMMY-winning veterans.

If you're already earning above $100K / year then we can explore funding and management to help you expand. 

If you’re under $100K / year then we offer training, mentorship, and strategy through our accelerator program to help you get there. 

From indie icons to industry heavyweights, here are some of the music pros that we've worked with...

Daniel Grimmett

CO-FOunder

I’ve spent seven years advising multi-platinum, GRAMMY-winning producers. Back in my 20s, I built one of the first fully-remote music production companies, did $1M in sales, and launched the careers of many music producers who worked for me.

Aaron Ferrucci

CO-FOUNDER 

I produced my first major label record at 18 years old. I spent the next decade in that world breaking artists and building a catalog with 500M+ streams. I believe that blunt feedback and traditional producer development is what builds lasting careers.
