Rosehip Records is an exciting entity capitalizing on the tried-and-true music business model which was for many years the core foundation of the music industry: quality music. A leading production, marketing and entertainment company employing both traditional and uniquely unconventional marketing techniques, Rosehip is well positioned to impact the entertainment industry. The company has in place a three year global distribution agreement with EMI and a publishing administration agreement with Primary Wave.
The Company's objective is to become a broad-based music entertainment company producing and distributing music and television products, recruiting and developing new and established recording artists and developing non-traditional music based entertainment programming. The Company intends to utilize traditional and non-traditional marketing and distribution channels, such as online services, interactive media, syndicated radio and cable television and film.
Based in Chicago and founded in 2006, the company owns and operates out of a 7,000 sq. ft. facility, the model of which is similar that that employed in the early years of recorded music; whereby Chess Records (Chicago) and Hitsville (Motown, Detroit) established a team of talent all housed under one roof. Located in the nation’s third largest city having a population of 15 million people residing in the greater Chicagoland area, there is a considerable pool of talent to draw from. The competitive advantage the company enjoys is that there is little A&R or major label presence in the market. The company has very close ties to radio programmers, DJs, media personalities, concert and event promoters lends great credibility to the company from the artistic community enabling Rosehip to attract, develop, promote and develop significant demand for the label’s artists.
Although based in Chicago, the company is mindful of the global marketplace and the opportunities which exist outside of the US. In the past twelve months the company has attained the; #1 and #2 ringtones and #1 record on the International Music Charts in Japan, two #1 music videos (VIVA, Hungary), official ‘add’ on VH-1 Soul, three Top 20 singles (Music Choice – US), #3 most downloaded track on Amazon.com, over 5.9 million MySpace plays, the #1 Bubbling Under and currently a Top 20 and rising single on the Billboard Top 100 Hip-Hop/R&B Chart.
