86 Records NY

86 Records NY is a minority-owned veteran-based independent record label, aimed to pave the way for artists to create music that truly connects with their audience. The name "86 Records" holds a special significance as it represents the vibrant music era of the 80s, a time when music not only sounded good but also had substance and meaning. Inspired by this golden age of music, we embarked on a mission to bring back the essence of meaningful and enjoyable songs that deeply resonate with listeners. Out of a deep passion for music, founders Josue Prosper, Denis Debranche, Joel Strickland, and Jesus Castillo, recognized their desire to help artists through their experiences and expertise back in 2017. Since then they drew inspiration from military ethics and the success stories of other label owners, we envisioned a record label that goes beyond music production and provide support to artists with unwavering integrity and genuine care. We offer more than just music production. We prioritize artists' well-being and provide services such as mental health support, financial literacy, and mentorship. We believe that success in the music industry requires a holistic approach, encompassing personal growth and career development. Join us at 86 Records NY where our mission is to continue to shape the future of music. Together, we can revive the artistry and purpose that defined the golden age and create an industry where integrity, discipline, and meaningful craft flourish.
