Company History
Unleashed Music was formed in New York City by musician and entrepreneur, Geordie Gillespie. It originated in 1988 as the publishing division of Dog Brothers Records, to administer the music of Konk (band).
In 2006, after 20 years of major label experience, Gillespie sought to expand the company's vision. The goal was to anticipate and utilize new media trends, platforms and strategies, while creating strong and equitable partnerships to develop artists' careers. By bundling marketing, promotion and production services, the company is structured to support any component of a music campaign.
