History
Established in 2004, Black Box is one of Canada's premiere and diverse international independent music companies with dedicated teams in Toronto, Ontario and Los Angeles, California. Black Box Music consists of a record label distributed by Universal Music Canada with artist management and publishing branches. Black Box Music's artist roster boasts internationally recognized award-winning talent including Juno-nominated SonReal, The Glorious Sons, platinum-selling hip-hop artist Classified, Juno-nominated rapper and producer Rich Kidd, Lyon, Northcote, Kayo, and platinum-selling Canadian rock band Glass Tiger frontman Alan Frew.
As Black Box Music's scope expanded, so did company involvement in the careers of signed artists, later leading to the launch of the company in artist management. Over time, Black Box Music's artist management and publishing initiatives have grown to include external artists of various styles and genres that are not signed to the Black Box record label.
"We pride ourselves on working with honest, genuine artists from a vast array of styles and profiles. We are, at the heart, an artist development company set on giving hard working artists the best shot at making a career in the music industry." - Black Box Music Facebook.
