What was the inspiration for starting a label?
Dsqise: Initially it was being friends with and knowing so many talented producers that made amazing music but weren’t putting it out or sending it out. I would be in studio sessions or collab sessions or just have friends send me over demos, and I m like, Why aren’t you putting this out? Much of the time they just wanted to focus on the music.
I m a graphic artist and co-own a small creative agency with the visual artist Mynus. It was around when QR started, as well. I knew we were able to make the artwork, create the ad images, size things for social media, promote on the platforms, create merch designs, and other things that a creative agency can do.
