A project of Sol Collective, Sol Life Media is a musically progressive cooperative record label, artist development model, and growing grassroots network which continues to grow via collective collaboration. By integrating the workflows of artists and support roles into a more dynamic, collaborative, and feedback-driven process, Sol Life aims to remix traditional roles of record labels, artist managers, and booking agents into a more streamlined, accessible and inclusive system that is effective and sustainable for artists.
Revolutions Per Minute is a global new music platform, record label, artist collective, and boutique agency for Indigenous music culture. RPM’s mission is to build a visionary community of Indigenous artists and to introduce Indigenous music to new audiences across Turtle Island and around the world. They curate and produce dynamic live presentations of cross-genre performance in partnership with festivals, events, communities, and as part of their annual RPM Live series.
