World Culture Music is an artist collective record label and multi-faceted music company that was created by drummer and composer Kendrick Scott. It is comprised of an alliance of like-minded musicians who are making a significant impact on both today's jazz scene and in music in general.
World Culture Music's mission is to blur the labels in music, cross the cultural divides, bypass the corporate structure and provide the next generation of talent an outlet to fulfill their creative visions.
The name World Culture Music (WCM) was derived from the many cultural and musical influences that surround people in their everyday lives. WCM's artists present music that is based on creativity and musical expression, which enables them to tell their story as opposed to romanticizing the past. Together the artists of WCM strive to forge a new stamp on the future of music by creating recordings that transcend stylistic boundaries and blur conventional labels.
As an alternative approach to the traditional record label, World Culture Music's objective is to bring the artist closer to the listener with no filters in creativity and honesty. WCM provides young creative musicians an opportunity to maintain all artistic control over their music and enables the musician to decide how it will be presented to the world. Unified under WCM, its artists can connect with their audience on a broad scale.
WCM presents artists of the highest caliber who are some of today's most in-demand musicians. Drummer Kendrick Scott, vocalist Julie Hardy, trombonist Nick Vayenas, and guitarist Mike Moreno have established themselves as some of the leading musical figures of their generation. They have played on over 35 recordings combined and performed with some of today's top jazz acts including Joshua Redman, Terence Blanchard, John Scofield, Nicholas Payton, Greg Osby, David Sanborn, Joe Sample, Dianne Reeves Jeff "Tain" Watts, Michael Buble, Kenny Garrett, and Ravi Coltrane.
When describing the company, Kendrick Scott says, "This unique gathering of musicians is very special in that we all have fresh approaches to musical expression and also to how we want to market and sell our music."
At this time WCM is Not accepting artist submissions.

You've got a greaet creative sense and a lot of musiciality in your toops, that should be taken directly to people.
