Independent Music · Co-founded 2021

Its flagship release "Enjoy Enjaami" surpassed one billion streams and became a generational anthem — a vindication of an artist-first model that is now widely studied across the industry.

  • Over 1B+ streams on flagship release
  • Artist-first masters & rights model
  • Global distribution & sync partnerships
