The first record label exclusively for AI music artists. All genres. No compromises.
Submit HereThe music industry is changing. We're not waiting for it to catch up.
Progenitor Records is a home for AI music creators who use technology as a production tool not a replacement for creativity. We're looking for artists who craft with intention.
You're a fit for Progenitor Records if you:
We're not looking for prompt-and-publish. We're looking for artists who architect their sound from the ground up. Lyricists who understand that AI is an instrument, not a shortcut.
From jazz to death metal, EDM to folk, experimental to pop. If you're creating original music with AI and need a home that understands your process, you've found it.
Our first artist represents exactly what we're building. Original vision, intentional craft, and fearless creativity.

Hello@Progenitorrecords.comIndependent. Intentional. Inevitable.
Progenitor Records is not a traditional label.
We have no advance to offer. No marketing budget. No promise of radio play or playlist placement. We won't pretend otherwise.
What we are is a collective, a home for independent artists who approach music as something larger than songs. Artists who build worlds. Who create characters, mythology, narrative, and visual identity alongside the music itself. Who make things that don't fit neatly anywhere else and have stopped apologizing for it.
We believe the most interesting music being made right now is being made in isolation, by people with no backing, no industry connections, and no guarantee that anyone will ever find it. We exist to change that last part. Not with money. With recognition, community, and the simple but rare experience of being genuinely understood.
Genre is irrelevant here. What matters is intention. If your music is part of something bigger, if there's a world behind it that deserves to exist, we want to know you.
We are small. We are honest about that. We are building something anyway.
If that resonates, you might already belong here.
What it means to sign with us
You keep everything. Your music, your rights, your masters. Signing with Progenitor Records costs nothing and takes nothing. We are not a contract. We are a commitment to each other.
In return, we ask one simple thing. When you promote your music, mention the label. Share another artist from the collective. We grow together or we don't grow at all. No one here is competing. We are all building something the industry didn't make room for, and the only way that changes is if we make noise about it together.
That's the whole deal.
The pioneers. The origin point.
Progenitor Records' first artist, Gilded Carnival creates atmospheric, theatrical music that blends dark pop with carnival-esque storytelling. Their newest album "All the Pretty Monsters" showcases the kind of intentional, crafted work we're building this label around.

Before you submit, here is what signing with us actually means.
Signing with Progenitor Records costs nothing and takes nothing. Artists retain full ownership of all rights, masters, and creative control. There are no fees, no contracts, and no catches.
We ask only that Progenitor artists support each other. Credit the label when you promote your music. Lift up a fellow artist when you can. That mutual support is the foundation everything else is built on.
Progenitor will in turn promote you on any social media, marketing, and promotional materials we produce. This is a two way street. We show up for you and we ask that you show up for each other.
We offer distribution support through DistroKid for artists who need it.
Submissions to Progenitor Records are now open. We welcome artists from all genres and all backgrounds. If our mission aligns with yours, we welcome you to apply.
