1st Degree Records is an artist-first music label dedicated to discovering, developing, and launching bold voices across genres. With a hands-on approach to A&R, bespoke marketing strategies, and a network of producers and sync partners, 1st Degree helps musicians turn raw talent into career momentum while retaining creative control. We combine industry expertise with modern distribution and fan-building tactics to amplify art that matters.

At the heart of 1st Degree Records is a commitment to artistic integrity, collaboration, and sustainable growth: we champion artists’ creative vision, build transparent partnerships, and invest in long-term careers rather than short-term trends. We value boldness and craft—encouraging experimentation while demanding professional excellence—and we measure success by meaningful audience connection and equitable opportunity for the artists we represent.
