About
Us
Red Admiral Records originally launched its label in 1979 and
music publishing company Cringe Music with the
Arthur Kay's Ska Wars single. Over the years the imprint has been found on many
releases from Kent Artistes. The label went through some dormancy some years ago
and some of its products/artists were transferred to other labels but Red Admiral
Records Is Back, supporting music and artists locally and internationally providing a means of self expression, a step above DIY.
The
company is actively searching for new up and coming artistes who are looking for
label deals and has an interest in established acts who are now out of contract
with any label they were with. In an effort to become pro active in the rapidly
growing AOR and MOR markets Red Admiral Records relaunched it's dominent imprint
as a home for new and established artistes in the adult contemporary market and
to position the company and label idents for "mass-market" artistes
across all styles of music.
Red Admiral Records LLP incorporated in 2008
combining the creation and digital distribution services of Red Admiral Records and Cringe
Music (Publishing) along with media supply and PR services for live music venues and bands from Kent & E Sussex Gig Guide.
CEO Chris Ashman feels that the company should not operate as a fixed genre
label, so as they expand, their digital releases and distribution have welcomed
interest from a wider spectrum of artists and reportoire. Chris spent some
time as Music Industry Consultant for New Deal for Musicians. He is also MD of Digimix
Records Ltd, works in the film, TV , radio, film, audio-visual, advertising and
media industries and advises other small independent record labels on their commercial
record releases.
Chris was the co-founder of the One Kent Organisation
with producer John Milton who in the past has worked with (Mike Stock, of Stock
Waterman & Aitken), John is also the companies first choice as photagraher
for projects.
As
the market for audio products has changed Red Admiral is developing the range
and style of its output to meet the current demand, from internationally distributed
digital and physical product to create-on-demand for niche and collector projects.
As a small independet company there will always be some projects that are too
large, with the risk outweighing the benefits for the company, artists and clients
but we see the future as artist led where no commercial project should be seen as too small. If
you feel that your project could be helped by the interaction of professionals,
please don't be too shy to make contact.
