Hella Good Records, MusicBox

HGR was established by premiere film and TV music composers, producers and supervisors at BAD ASS MUSIC after working on a feature film where we placed a ton of awesome independent talent from all over the world. Our passion for exposing new artists and our business of film, TV and trailer music placement compelled us to create a record label with the goal of signing the very best indie bands and singer-songwriters suitable for one-stop licensing (or maybe this is our way of fulfilling a life long fantasy to be high powered record execs). Either way, it's a win-win situation and having been in rock bands ourselves, let's just say we're "paying it forward"!
