Record label & artist management · est. [year]

Every artist starts backstage. We build the walk to the light.

Recording, touring, publishing and care, under one roof. From the first room to the last arena.

The label

We sign people, not playlists.

Second Bloom began as a Sunday listening club in a basement. Today we record, release and manage ten artists, and every week still starts in the same room: one table, one speaker, everyone listening.

Artists

Hover a name to see the artist, open it for the full profile. All artists are fictional.

Kofi Lantern

Rapper & songwriter

Kofi writes verses as voice notes on night buses and finishes them at sound check. His second record, Low Light Choir, came out in spring.

Marisol Vey

Soul singer

A jazz-trained voice with a taste for slow, heavy drums. Marisol records live to tape with a five-piece band and tours with the same players.

Okon Reed

Afro-soul vocalist

Okon's laugh is on half his records. He makes warm, brass-heavy songs for big rooms and sings the last chorus without a microphone.

Luz Arden

Songwriter

Luz writes for other artists in the morning and for herself after dark. Bilingual, quiet and very precise; her album Deep End was written by the pool at the house.

Theo Brasswell

Singer & guitarist

Theo grew up in a church choir and still sings with his eyes shut. His live shows run long on purpose.

Ida Mooney

Vocalist

Ida records vocals in one take or not at all. Her debut EP was made in four nights in our listening room.

Augie Sol

Singer & performer

Augie came to us from the festival circuit: a big voice, a bigger stage show and a soft spot for ballads.

Temi Halloway

R&B singer

Temi stacks her harmonies twelve deep. She is finishing her first album at the house this summer.

Cassius Wren

Producer & artist

Cassius produces half the roster and releases his own instrumentals under one rule: no song longer than three minutes.

Nile Harrow

Producer & DJ

Nile plays sunset sets and builds them live from the roster's voice memos.

The house

The summer house

Every June, the whole roster moves into one house.

No studio clock. One long table. Instruments by the pool.

Half of our records start here.
