Our artists roster is small, but growing. Because we are a small label, we can only service a few artists at a time. At the moment we are proud to feature:
Formless Trio- A bold new project that combines the electric fusion sound with elements of metal, African traditional drumming, 1960's classic rock, punk, & jazz. The group consists of Paul Kim on guitar/keyboards, Keith Langevin-bass, & Marcus L. Miller-drums. The group has no set list, no charts, no repertoire...We just start playing whatever comes to mind! The group has recorded 2 albums which will soon be released. The group has performed twice in Los Angeles, CA and is seeking a booking agent to really get things swinging.

Freedom Jazz Movement - Under the direction and leadership of Artist/Percussionist Marcus L. Miller, FJM delivers a dynamic jazz sound. The group has recorded 4 albums (It's Miller Time; Body, Soul, & Spirit; Back Again; & Quintessential) with 1 more soon to be released. Since 1998, FJM has played performed throughout the East and West coasts of the United States. Most often represented by a quintet, the group ranges from a trio, quartet, sextet, up to a 12 piece ensemble. The instrumentation and players may change, but the sound remains a constant. The group often performs with the Lula Washington Dance Theatre; creating new heights of jazz dance. Miller composes most of the groups material and his supporting cast helps deliver the knockout punch. Group highlights include performances at the Lincoln Center out of doors festival in 2006, and a 2 night run with Chris Botti at the Carolina Theater in 2006.
