Record Labels In Toronto

Trying to find record labels in Toronto? I am a Toronto native, born and raised. I've performed in some of this cities finest venues and produced music for some amazing artists. Personally, I have more business relations with labels internationally then I do in my own city, but for one of the worlds best places for upcoming artists there's an apparent lack of record labels, right?

Wrong.

The problem with trying to find record labels in Toronto is that there are so many. Big, small, indie, major, this city has it all! I am feeling quite determined to build some sort of resource site with a comprehensive listing of record labels in Toronto. For the purpose of this post I will list off as many record labels as I can off the top of my head that have offices in Toronto. If there are any labels you would like me to add, please let me know!

I'm not sure of each labels genre, market, or whether they are accepting demo submissions. The best way to find that info out is to give them a call! I know some of you might prefer to hide behind the computer and send off an email hoping someone has the time to respond, but the reality is far from that. Record labels received hundreds of emails daily and if you are serious about making it in the music business you need to pop your "cold calling" cherry and get dialing! A few other labels I know personally who have offices in Toronto are Urbnet, Paperbag Records, Underground Operations, Universal Music Canada. Speaking of Universal, if you're looking to go straight for the major record labels in Toronto, visit www.overhear.com which is one of, if not the best resource for Canadian musicians.

I'm really serious about starting a resource website strictly for Toronto musicians. If you have any ideas AT ALL or would like to sit down and talk business regarding getting a site like this up and running, don't hesitate to contact me: mrblue.reviewsATyahoo.com.

Respect.
