Record label
Iamsound launched as a record label in 2007, and released albums from artists including Florence and the Machine, Charli XCX,[3] Lord Huron,[4][5] Banks, and Salem. The label also promoted the group MS MR and released its single "Hurricane",[6] though the group's album Secondhand Rapture eventually came out via Columbia Records.[7] It later expanded into visual artist management and running a creative studio.[citation needed] In 2010, the label released a series of vinyl and digital singles called the L.A. Collection, featuring Los Angeles-based musicians through a singles club.[8] In 2019, they signed artist Mk.gee.[9]
Creative & marketing studio
In 2012, Iamsound collaborated with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles for an event called PLAY MOCA, which showcased artists including Salem, IO Echo, Zola Jesus, Active Child, Cults, and Lord Huron.[10]
They created a concert series titled "Artist Connect" with Pitchfork for American automobile brand Ford in 2014.[11]
Iamsound's creative and marketing studio won a 2019 Clio Gold Music award for its Spotify In-House "Billie Eilish Experience" event.[12] The company also partnered with Dropbox and Getty to present "Bridge-s" at the Getty Center Museum from November 16–17, 2019 for Solange.[13][14]
