Grand Central Artists
A new vision of the music label
01 / A new model for music creators
Artists increasingly produce their own music. Grand Central Artists brings the expertise around them: a new-generation label and music services company, built for the evolving needs of artists, music producers and content creators.
02 / Your consulting partner
We advise self-producing artists, producers, labels and record companies on project positioning, release planning, catalogue strategy and development in the United States. From a focused consultation to ongoing support, we help turn creative ambitions into a clear, practical plan.
03 / Create. Release. Develop.
Production, publishing, distribution and promotion — coordinated around your vision. Choose the services your project needs, with 360° support across new releases, back catalogues and long-term development.
04 / Your music, worldwide
Worldwide distribution through THE ORCHARD - SONY MUSIC. Specialist knowledge of the US market, covering positioning, communication, promotion and GRAMMY Awards campaign support. Each strategy starts with your identity, audience and ambitions.
05 / The sound behind the vision
Grand Central Artists Studio (GCA Studio) brings recording, production, stereo and immersive mixing together. Our Dolby Atmos enabled studio has a 9.1.4 monitoring setup, including 7.1.4 with Trinnov Audio room correction.
06 / Our roots. Your next chapter.
Founded in September 2000 by Alexis Blanchart and Simonetta Izzo Blanchart, GCA builds on the journey of O+music: Brazilian music, gypsy jazz and world music, distributed by Harmonia Mundi and later EMI Music Group. Ray Barretto’s Time Was – Time Is received a GRAMMY nomination in 2005.
Artistic quality. Lasting relationships. A label that evolves with the people who create.
