Speaking on his new venture, Becker shares:

"I've always believed the artists and the fans need to be at the center of anything we do. We need to advocate for them and for the creators, empowering them to be able to create on their terms, taking our years of experience and combining it with a fresh approach to what an independent label should look like in 2021 and beyond - an entity embracing the way music is now discovered and consumed, and running with it.”
