OSITO

Bio:

OSITO Records main focus is on their own artists and releases, but OSITO is also licensing /distributing selected artists from all over the world. The most important thing for us is that music in general has an exploring, soulful and distinctive quality to it and we furthermore appreciate vocalists that possesses an unique and different tonal character. We don`t want to be restricted to a special genre when it comes to music, but at the same time we are quite picky of what we release. People have said that OSITO Records music is melancholic, theatrical and sophisticated Pop/Rock. We think its best you decide for yourselves. OSITO Records are very proud of their artists and also the artists we have licensed and are distributing: Artist rooster: CERRATO FREESHINE ALPINE THOSE MYRIADS? EDVARD BREDOK LA MASCARA SNAKE MERRY NOVEMBER MAGIC PILLOWS Licensing/distribution: CLAY ALLISON (Sweeden) STEVE WYNN (USA) LANSBURY (Spain) MIST (The Netherlands) SCHWARZ (Spain) MANTA RAY (Spain) If you are an artist and want to send us a demo, please get to know the label and its musical profile before sending your music.
