ABOUT BLACK LABEL
Based in Minneapolis, and launched in 2015, Black Label was founded by Creative Director and composer Ken Brahmstedt. With him is a roster of extremely talented and smart musicians, many who you can find on the Collaborators page. Black Label features an award-winning catalog and top-shelf music from its talented composers and artists. Black Label has created thousands of original works for their catalog, been engaged for dozens of original music campaigns, and helped several companies with their sonic branding. We have successfully licenced and sold our music to hundreds of commercials worldwide, as well as won many TV, and Film placements. Black Label has a potent combination of experience, youth, and incredibly adept artists. Our name, Black Label was intentional. Our music is not “fast fashion”, it’s top shelf.
KEN BRAHMSTEDT
Ken Brahmstedt’s nearly 25 years of experience are evident in his supernatural-like ability to understand what a client wants and needs - and the wisdom to know the difference. He can play just about anything, just ask him. Growing up just outside Nashville, he learned to appreciate all types of music, country and western, jk. His extremely wide music palate is reflected in his wide range of genres in which he has written and produced music. Award-winning ad music, indie film scores, children’s musicals… Ken’s done it all. And yes, he also played in bands with names like Prom King and Spork.
Our Mission: Support Artists
Through many years of internships and Black Label’s Artist in Residency Program, you’ll see from this page and on our collaborators page, that Black Label inherently nurtures a diverse and inclusive community of players and performers. Through intention and curation, these collaborations build a stellar product of music for media, unlike anywhere else. These opportunities are open to those who perhaps would not have segued from commercial or personal music endeavors into the world of production music. A world that we’re proud to be a part of.
In the spirit of continuing to expand our community, Black Label has joined forces with Sound Initiative in their efforts to match Black Music Makers to sync and publishing opportunities. We will promote this opportunity to all the BIPOC people in our network of artists and collaborators, and we will pledge mentorship time for black musicians, songwriters, composers, & producers through through the Sound Initiative platform.
