Music should be full of potential and freedom.

Founded and curated by Gary Stallman in 2016, emkan stays true to artists at every stage of distribution.

With its release-centric approach, the label collaborates with artists for each selected work, providing support and insights on sonics and visuals, focusing on quality, warmth and truth.

Artists stay free to perform, market and promote their material as they see fit. The label does not maintain booking activities nor has roster ambitions.

We believe that trust should be at the center of any relationship.

Transparency as a core value.
