Authxntic is a collective of artists, producers and engineers in Los Angeles that records, develops and releases its members’ music.
A production label
Most studios sell hours. Most labels sign records that already exist. Authxntic does the third thing. The record is made in our room, by the producer who is also the label, and it is released through the label's catalogue. Artists come in on the strength of the music, and the arrangement is built around them.
