You & Kyle Borman recently started up your own record label called KBB Records back in March 2014, Which we hear started as a small recording. Could you tell us how KBB Records came about to be & what made you choose the name KBB?

Me and Kyle have been working together in the music industry for many years now and have learned a lot about the ins and outs of how everything goes. We love music and we love working on all aspects of it whether it's creating music, managing artists or signing and helping to develop artists so starting a record label together was a logical step for us. KBB are our initials together, we share the middle B.

What made you want to create a Record Label & How is being the owner of a record label going for you?

There are so many great bands out there that just don't get the chance they deserve. We just want to work with great artists with a passion for music who are willing to go the extra mile like me and Kyle. It's definitely a lot of hard work but I'm really enjoying it.

How do you go about creating a record label, other then just getting a name and making a website what do you have to do other then that?

It's a long, difficult process. You obviously can't just make a website and start signing bands, there is a lot that goes into. To run a successful label you need a lawyer and legal team, you need employees that can handle everything such as deadlines, submissions, music videos, album artwork, finances, budgets, logistics the list is endless. You also need to sort out distribution globally which is difficult. We are working with Caroline as our distributor and it's been an absolute pleasure working with them so far, so there is definitely a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make a label run that peke don't realize.
