HISTORY OF THE RECORD LABEL

 

Since 2016 we have been recording, releasing and producing LIVE showcases for London’s most talented emerging artists.

We have worked with massive organisations over the last few years. 2018 saw one of our artists Jasmine2Safi interviewed by DJ Target on his BBC Radio 1Xtra show and her track Monotone was played live, while London Mayor Sadiq Khan also visited our music studios to participate in a music production session for the televised launch of his Young Londoners Fund.

2019 has looked similarly massive: with a day long industry training session from experts in the industry from Resident Advisor, and our Spotlight Sounds artists auditioning for grime’s version of the X Factor Da Come Up and  performing at All Points East festival to name only a few.

And if you don’t believe us, believe some of our past artists and collaborators…

“Spotlight has been a great support. They bring everyone down to watch the shows. It feels good, like you’re always a part of something” – Archna, previous Spotlight Sounds artist

 “I visited the Spotlight Centre…I wasn’t that surprised because the ends always represents but I was kind of blown away at the same time that there was some amazing talent in that building when we went down there” – DJ Target (on his radio show)
